Bed Early

Went to a flea market at the cemetery today. When we heard about this we thought, “Cool, a flea market in a cemetery.” Thus we were disappointed to find the market simply running up and down the road outside instead. As flea markets go it was about what you would … Read More

Boat, Books and Grammy

Leave a Comment

Having fun around here with Grammy the past couple days. During past visits Ouest was never all that involved with her Grammy. She’d hold hands and play on occasion, but this visit has been a complete change. She is all about Grammy now. She’s crawling on her, hugging her completely … Read More

Happiness

Leave a Comment

After dinner tonight we were walking along the malecon and told Ouest we’d take her to the playground we’d seen on the drive into town earlier. You can’t believe how excited this girl can get over the absolute crap playgrounds that she gets to play on. Running and screaming “Woohoo!” … Read More

Hola Grammy

Leave a Comment

Spent the last few days computer-less again. Spent way too many hours in the past few months trying to resolve computer issues that would probably have taken an Apple employee an hour with the computer in their hands. I know, I know, first-world problem here, but it is one of … Read More

Hi

We spent last night enjoying the Coromuel winds of Baja for the first time. I gather that the winds are caused by the warm land air flowing over the cooler air over the water at night. It blew twenty knots all night long and our anchorage afforded little in the … Read More

Baja Brrr Agua

Leave a Comment

We moved on first thing this morning after another peaceful night broken only by a thirty minute gusting of twenty knots or so shortly after dark. I know Baja is notorious for these, usually much stronger, and that they have a name that completely escapes me at the moment. While … Read More

Happy Campers

I tell you I am one happy camper in this bay, especially with the weather as incredible as it has been. And this isn’t even truly in the cruising grounds of the Gulf of California yet. I’m really excited now to see what is further north. I spent another wonderful … Read More

Oh Glorious Baja

Leave a Comment

I love Baja, always have. Love it even more than the mainland. Last night I loved it because you could have heard a mouse skitter through the engine compartment it was so quiet. In other words, no swell! This morning I loved it for the ultra clear blue skies and … Read More

Ha, We Did It!

Leave a Comment

We survived the night. An easy thrumming of the motor and light breeze kept us chugging right along, nothing else broke, and Ali and I got next to no sleep on a night that if it were just the two of us we would have been hard pressed to stay … Read More

Green

We set out this morning in a thick fog, but needed to do so in order to cross the breakwater’s bar at high tide. When we arrived here it was low tide and to be honest I’m not sure now how we got in the first time without hitting bottom. … Read More

The Man

Ouest was helping me with boat work today. I was attempting to fix one of the running lights and was messing around with the wiring in the chain locker. She sat on her bed and handed me tools and bits of wiring. She even got to the point that out … Read More

Hungry in Mazatlan

Leave a Comment

One nice thing about Mazatlan is their bus service. It’s super easy to get anywhere we need to go, and today we needed to go back to the playground. Both of the kids needed the exercise, especially Lowe, who we are having the hardest time finding non-concrete places to crawl … Read More
