There is always a feeling leaving an anchorage where you’ve stayed for longer than a couple of days. It’s not a feeling or sensation for that matter that I can put a finger on, ... but I have it every time. Maybe it’s a sense of readiness to move on. Or maybe just the opposite. … Continue reading Animas Slot and Bahia de Los Angeles

Isla Estanque
Staying Informed Or not. reading the news - how do we get it and how much do we actually read? - bits of one liner news we can bring up via our IridiumGo. How do we feel about the news? How much do we want to know about? Filtering not possible but the one line … Continue reading Isla Estanque
Returning to Puerto Refugio
Little birds singing sweet songs … Farewell Puerto Penasco! Wow, we had a very full two plus months here: Hanging out with then saying goodbye to our amazing cruising buddies, Tom and Katie on SV Absolute; digging daily into our long list of boat projects; making an uneventful trip to Arizona for boat supplies, provisioning … Continue reading Returning to Puerto Refugio
Hola Puerto Penasco!
We made it! That was three months ago. Most of you already knew from our social media or blog posts. But we will revisit it again because we have a lot to share after staying here two plus months. Our travel north from Puerto Refugio was good. For 20 hours we listened to the finely … Continue reading Hola Puerto Penasco!
Puerto Refugio
July 9-11th And we arrive at our last anchorage before we head to Puerto Penasco; that ends our first sailing season. Leaving an anchorage we really enjoy is somewhat sad. Maybe leaving Bahia de Rocas was extra sad knowing that we are coming near the end of the season. But we did have a fantastic … Continue reading Puerto Refugio

After a season of cruising, traditionally cruisers escape the hot summer Mexico to travel to cooler destinations or home. This year many left … Continue reading Truck’n Along and Get’n Things Done
Greetings from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora

Carrie & I have made it to our northernmost point in the Sea of Cortez; Puerto Peñasco in Sonora. Puerto Peñasco is a small working town mostly known … Continue reading Greetings from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora
Greetings from La Cruz
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
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
