Go Diego Go

I don’t know how we managed to get stranded here for so long. It is the least attractive and the least interesting spot we’ve been, yet a week later here we sit. Ouest still looks like she is on death’s doorstep, though she continues to act as if nothing is … Read More

Ouest has been sick the past few days; fevers, not eating, and then today a rash broke out all over her body and seemed to just keep getting worse and spreading to more and more places. She looked terrible by bed time but wasn’t complaining of any pain. We put … Read More

Holding Tight

We didn’t do much today. Ouest was still not feeling all that great and none of us got any sleep last night, so today we just took it as easy as possible. Lowe is now standing straight up without any aids, balancing for ten seconds or so, and then taking … Read More

Ouest had a fever today and was pretty out of it all afternoon. So much so in fact that she fell asleep completely on her own at one point. She never sits still long enough to do that and now we’re Googling whether or not it is possible to give … Read More

Loreto Farmer’s Market

Leave a Comment

Ouest and I (have I mentioned how tired we are of Lowe’s morning naptime) caught a ride in this morning to the Loreto Farmer’s Market. Lots of good food, a ton of drinks, a bit of flea market nick-knack, and beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables. We go through fruit at … Read More

Are You?

I really feel like I should like Loreto. It’s as if I am betraying my gringo brethren if I don’t, but somehow this town just doesn’t do it for me. Or Ali for that matter. “I’m just not feeling it,” is what she said after a few hours there. I … Read More

Escondido

Leave a Comment

Escondido isn’t a very interesting place. It’s a good place to catch our breath, get a couple of boat chores done, and that’s about it really. The marina was built by the Mexican Government’s Tourist Agency and it looks as if they expected some amazing things out of it. They … Read More

I Hate Boats

Leave a Comment

Today was one of those boat ownership days I’d rather forget about. It reminded me too much about why I hate boats. We noticed an hour or so into our motor north that the batteries weren’t charging right. The voltage was sitting at 12.3, way too low. I opened up … Read More

We continued up the coast to Agua Verde yesterday. A big three pronged bay with a small desert fishing village to get off the boat and stroll through. As we were walking a grandpa came out of one of the houses and called the rest of his family over. There … Read More

Ride Home

I hate to jinx it, especially since I’ve no way to check a forecast from here, but the weather has been incredible this past week. Since getting away from the Coromuel around La Paz I don’t think we’ve seen wind blow past five knots. The anchorages have been like mill … Read More

Nine Months Lowe, Twenty-Nine Months Ouest

Leave a Comment

Another month in the books. What to say, what to say. Ouest, you are saying it all now. Driving us batty with your never ending supply of energy and the why’s and the now’s. You don’t like to spend much time playing on your own which is okay I guess … Read More

Thank God

We popped around the corner, just two miles, to Los Gatos this morning. Another pretty bay where we spent the day on the beach, in the water, and crawling around on the red rocks that ring the place. Lowe has really taken to the water lately. He seems to know … Read More
