Dec 31 and we are heading northing towards Bahia Conception. The winds are light as we leave Puerto Escondido – around 10-15 knots and Kolby is motor sailing at a good pace of 8 knots. The winds continued to build as we progressed north, we are on a solid heal now as we head, Read More
I have been doing a lot of baking- bread, muffins, cookies, granola bars… Fynn loves to help – but the galley gets a bit messy!
The upside of all this wind – and I’m not sure it I have made it clear, but we regularly have seen 20 knots for days before the wind settles for a day or two – is that we are able to fly our kite off the back. Enjoy these photos from the sky, Read More
Dec 26- a calm morning despite the forecast of winds up to 30 knots. At 10 am we met several others on the beach to hike over to some caves. Since our desert hike escapade I have grown weary of hiking as I seem to pay for it later, carrying the weight of, Read More
What a strange thing for us- we have never been away from our family for Christmas. It felt almost wrong – we certainly missed them! Fynn was so excited to open the gifts she was completely over the top. It was very entertaining for us to watch – we had to slow her, Read More

We went even sure that our depth sounder was working – we hadn’t got a depth reading in ages. The guide book (Sea of Cortez by Shawn and Heather) marked the coordinated of the seamounts 2 miles for the location on the chart. Who do we trust? The chart or the written coordinates? Where, Read More
The day started out in the Bahia Grande on Isle Partida. Fynn woke up at 6 am and I was amazed to hear… nothing. For the first time in the last 5 day the winds, which had been blowing steady at 20 knots, had shut off. I was so happy to hear this, Read More
Picked these up during our stay in La Paz- pretty but time for them to go!
