That trip down from Bahia de Tortuga to Abraojos was the biggest weather Asunto has been in yet. We had wind holding steady at 30 knots and gusting higher, and the sea were consistently 15 feet. Assent was amazing. We were flying downwind on the poled out genoa, hitting 11 knots as we surfed, Read More
Ok here is the truth. This is this first time I have done my full night shift in a long while. And to make it worse I only have one shift- from 8-10. This is intentional as I a pretty occupied taking care of Fynn during the day and don’t have a lot of, Read More
I’m not sure which day was more exciting. The day Fynn was born or the day she became a fish. We are in San Juanico, a small town centered around gringo hill. The American influence is apparent here- trees planted in yards, english signs and people playing in the water on SUPs, kayaks and, Read More
We found out that there was a really bad fire in our townhouse complex. Our unit wasn’t burnt, but half the building is gone, so we really don’t know what is happening next. It is hard being disconnected when big life events happen. We had also put a lot of our stuff into the, Read More
I finally was able to buy Fynn some crafting materials. Just the basics – paint, paper googly eyes, scissors, glue and other bits and bobs. I couldn’t stand the mess of paint before now- she was just too little and we don’t have a great space for it. Now she paints out in the, Read More
We made it! Yippee, well to Mexico at least. There is still a long Baja Coast ahead of us but at least we have fulfilled the goal of sailing to Mexico. Kolby asked me if I really thought we would make it, when we talked of sailing away so many years ago. Honestly, I, Read More
I wouldn’t say we are cruising yet. So far we are really just transiting, rarely spending more than one night in a place and averaging 100+ miles every two days. A day of rest and boat jobs, sometimes just a day of boat jobs, alternates with days or nights of travel. We have, Read More
We left at 5am for Oxnard and tied up at the guest dock of the PCYC where our friend Alison was there to meet us. Alison and her husband Allan had sailed their boat to Australia and had met my parents in the Baha HAHA. It was great to chat over a huge breakfast, Read More
This trip was much nicer as we could sail most of the way. With the goal of maintaining a minimum of 4 knots we didn’t have to turn on the engine until about 4 am. It was strange sailing that coast at night with the oil platforms lit up light floating castles. I find, Read More
SLO was a surprisingly sheltered anchorage with two piers. We dropped the hook by the XXX pier that leads to Aviva Beach, and hopped into the dinghy. Poor Kyber was just itching to get to shore. When we pulled up to the pier we saw the signs that it was closed for repairs so, Read More
