So here we are, back again, to get the dinghy repaired. We were able to find someone who could do it in our tight time frame and hey it’s only money right? While we had the time in La Cruz we hopped on a bus to Sayulita and had a blast boogie boarding in, Read More

This afternoon we decided to try the river cruise. As we were coming through the surge we hit a rock pretty hard with Otto. This rock really came out of nowhere. We never saw it before,during or after hitting it. About halfway thought the river tour it was obvious we were taking on water., Read More

This morning we headed to La Manzanilla to visit the crocodile sanctuary. The crocs were absolutely amazing, and should not be missed. They are massive and ancient looking and definitely scary. Not something you would ever want to see when swimming! We held a little one, at 3 years old it was only about, Read More

We spent the first day at the ‘Aquarium’, Fynn came snorkelling with us for a good hour. She just swims around with us or goes for a ride on our backs, it will be great when she starts wearing goggles and can see the fish. We also have an underwater viewer, which is tons, Read More

Here we are, anchored in the perfectly flat Barre lagoon. After a week or so of rolling each night, this is just perfect. It is ideal for getting our to do list done to get Asunto ready for her first ocean crossing. We also took time to visit Melaque, watch the local parade in, Read More

We woke up unrested after a noisy, roll, squally night at anchor in La Cruz. We made it 75% out of the bay until the wind died but it only took us 5 minutes of sailing before we blew up another spinnaker block, this time in only 8 knots, so nothing to do with, Read More

OK La Cruz is way too hectic for us; we called it La Cruz time. It is 8 then it is noon then it is 4. In a blink of an eye. This is mostly due to the great sense of community here and the multitude of fellow kid boats, add that to the, Read More

The overnight trip to Isla Isabele was sadly dull. We had a great breeze that carried us until around 8 pm then we had to motor until we anchored at 8am the next morning. Anchoring felt super dodgy. The bay was fairly open to the swell and we were watching it smash against the, Read More

We planned to stay just two nights – marina’s are usually our thing. But after one day is was clear we would need to stay longer, this was just too much fun and way to easy! It helped that El Cid had a special on – 7 nights for the price of 5, and, Read More

The crossing to Mazatlan from La Paz was brutal. We motored for 20 hours in flat seas and the predicted wind just never came. Well in fact we did find out later that a good 20 knots of wind was out there, just 12 hours behind us. Damn. We had picked up a hitchhiker, Read More
