Carrie and I have been here in La Cruz for the last few weeks as we weather the COVID-19 situation as it unveils here in Mexico. We are in the marina and making the best of things. The boat has never been cleaner or more tidy. : ) It is very quiet here, as all … Continue reading Greetings from La Cruz

La Cruz to Las Hadas & Back, (except for Barra)
Catching up with Dharma Girl We’ve done a lot of backtracking so far with our blog; so I thought I’d post and do some catching up in a vain effort to keep us as current as possible. We’re back in Banderas Bay, anchored in the cruiser anchorage at La Cruz just outside the marina proper. … Continue reading La Cruz to Las Hadas & Back, (except for Barra)
San Diego to Bahia Tortugas: Leg One of the Ha-Ha
This was a relatively low key set of days for us. We were basically motor sailing our way south and clawing our way back into the rear of the rest of the Ha Ha fleet, who had gotten a days worth of sailing done in front of us. I don’t recall a whole to going … Continue reading San Diego to Bahia Tortugas: Leg One of the Ha-Ha
Crossing the Sea of Cortez to Mazatlan
Continuing from being stuck in La Paz, we had some luck come our way. The new IridiumGo arrived four days earlier than scheduled. Saturday afternoon Chris picked up the unit, installed it and we were ready to go that afternoon! The weather for the two night passage was forecasted for winds at least half of … Continue reading Crossing the Sea of Cortez to Mazatlan
Stuck in the “Peace” of the City – Part 1
La Paz means ‘peace’ in Spanish. We have found this mostly true (aside from the periodic loud music). This 400 plus year old city is laid back with friendly folks, locals, and visitors alike. Strolling the Malecón promenade invites visitors to view artwork, eat delicious foods, and adventure up the side streets to see what … Continue reading Stuck in the “Peace” of the City – Part 1
Back in the Land of Bars (or Blogging is really an Internet-based) Activity
Yesterday my Mom gently reminded me by letting me know we were a month behind in sending out a blog post. A month ? I thought it was only a few weeks ... ?! It's not that we haven't wanted to blog, it's that we didn't quite have the bars to so. By bars we … Continue reading Back in the Land of Bars (or Blogging is really an Internet-based) Activity
Port Townsend – This and That

There is so much to capture ... and I don't want to forget some of those little special experiences I'm having during our travels.

The Unexpected
I can start by stating the obvious and share that our last post was a month ago but why? I can try to explain why we haven't posted in over four weeks but why? I can explain that we have been preoccupied with unexpected boat projects and incidents but why? I do want to share … Continue reading The Unexpected
F.I.R.E. Barista Style
One evening I was reading a reblog post of a fellow blogger, Life Free 2 Sail Fast, who is more prolific in posting than moi, and I ask ... "Hey Babe, are we part of the FIRE movement?" "Yes babe, we are. In fact, we're more like others who call themselves FIRE Barista ... because … Continue reading F.I.R.E. Barista Style
