Ladies Man

This morning we wandered around Old Town Mazatlan for a bit, had some breakfast, and took a few pictures. Mazatlan surprises me every time with how interesting a place it is. Seems like it should be all about tourism, and it is I suppose if you head to the north … Read More

Mazatlan

3 Comments

Staying in hotels is for suckers. For the price of one hotel room we’ve got ourselves a three-bedroom condo with private elevator, pool, and about anything else you can think of. Best of all though is the location just a few blocks down the malecon from the park and Old … Read More

Smokey in a Sombrero

About two months ago we booked a trip for my mom to come down for Christmas. Doing the math we decided we’d be in Mazatlan. Our math was wrong. So instead of sailing up, we rented a car and piled our crap in for the 300 mile roadtrip. And oh … Read More

My Rudder

I went to the shipyard here today and asked about my rudder problem. Basically the immediate response was that the boat definitely needed to be hauled out, and that they could do it tomorrow and have it back to me in a week. I was told it was the bearings … Read More

Three!

Our little girl is three. I’m feeling the time accelerator now more than ever before. I like this age a lot as it is so much fun to talk and joke with her—to have discussions about her thoughts instead of putting words in her mouth. I don’t know, she’s great, … Read More

Sinking Boat

That was the worst night we can remember, though we do tend to have short memories; that’s why we’re still living on a boat. This morning we were running the refrigerator when Ali told me she didn’t think it was working. So we lifted up the engine hatch to have … Read More

On The Move

There are over a million books for sale in the Kindle format, so to say I’m pretty excited about cracking into the top 1000 would be a major understatement. We sailed (err, motored) over to Yelapa today. Yelapa is a small town accessible only by water. We grabbed a mooring … Read More

Tijuana Border (a year ago)

Leave a Comment

Launch Day! Finally. It’s been a long time coming. In fact, my buddy Nick O’Kelly and I came up with the idea for this book one year ago this week over IHOP pancakes just steps away from the Tijuana border. Over the years we’ve been asked so many times how … Read More

Not Scrooges

Had drinks on the beach with some friends, and as we tend to do whenever somebody who actually knows how to handle a camera is around we rallied the troops for family photos. And just to show that we’re not total Scrooges, there’s a couple shots of our Christmas decorations … Read More

The Whole Family

Ouest is starting to turn into a sweet little girl. Yes, I say starting to. She’s never been much of the kissy-poo type, but the last few days she’s been handing out kisses and hugs at totally random times. Then tonight when Ali was laying her down for bed they … Read More

Shunned

Santa Claus day. Okay, so we don’t really do Christmas—like, at all—but taking a picture with Santa is one Christmas tradition we can get behind. It’s the only way our kids will know who this St. Nic guy is in a couple of years when they start hearing people talk … Read More
