LaCruz, which is nestled in the north end of Banderas Bay, is a short 69 miles from San Blas, so we decided to make two overnight stops along the way. Proving that we learn from our experiences, we left San Blas at high tide and had an easy sail to Chácala, which we’d read was…
Sharing our experience with others increases our enjoyment and deep sense of gratitude. Jefferson visited for a few days and got to spend time with his dad Scott, plus Herman and me. The boat was still “on the hard” at the marina without power or water, so Herman and I rented a room with Scott’s…
Wow, those three weeks went by so fast. We miss our family and friends so much and it was great to see them. We’re going to consider home visits to be part of the adventure! (We’ve had slow internet so this post is ten days late. A San Blas update will come soon.) The first…
After leaving La Paz, we sailed slowly and motored through the first night, seeing two tankers. The second night we came within three miles of a cruise ship destined for Cabo San Lucas. I wondered if any of the passengers saw the very small sailboat on the water, because Tieton sure felt insignificant close to…
As we’re leaving Baja, it deserves a pause to reflect about how fortunate we are to be on this adventure. Whether it be watching pelicans, dolphins, sunrise or sunset, we feel lucky to be alive, healthy and able to be on this trip together. This may be a longer post, because we’re slowly sailing across…
Isla Partida and Espíritu Santo are a couple hours boat ride (or faster on a panga) from LaPaz. Between them is a very narrow channel that is sometimes passable in a very flat bottom boat like a kayak. The islands are part of the marine park, and require a conservation pass to visit or anchor.…
We had arranged to have the boat bottom cleaned at Puerto Escondido and the divers followed us to our mooring buoy. Four divers were in the water immediately and within 15 minutes they were done. A couple days later, we got a report that our bottom paint and zincs are holding up well. The zincs…
We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to share our adventure with my sister Janet and her husband Rich, who joined us for a week. We spent our time in Puerto Escondido and Isla Carmen, which is part of the National Park that is the marine sanctuary around Loreto. At the head Bahia…
We motored overnight from Cabo San Lucas to LaPaz, the capital of Baja California Sur. The entrance to the harbor is a long narrow dredged channel fairly close to land. The day after our arrival, the Port Captain closed the harbor for two days because of winds. I’m sure that many of Washington port directors…
It is nice to be on the seas again! We left San Diego around noon Sunday so that we could get to the Coronado Islands anchorage before sundown. A huge pod of dolphins was active in the San Diego bay – mostly too distant to photo. The Coronado anchorage is a somewhat open and uncomfortable…
