We’ve covered more miles in the last 24 hours that Asunto has ever done since she was trailered across the country on a flat bed truck! Although I know this record (169 nautical mile straight line run) will be broken in the future, and hopefully even on this trip, it was nice to accomplish, Read More

Some days are better than some nights. We had a great sail from noon until 9pm and another great sail from 6am to noon, but those hours in the dark were very trying last night. Instead of blowing a nice 16-18 knots from about 45-50 magnetic (like it seems to do all day), the wind, Read More

We have had a pretty good 24 hour run, essentially on a beam reach. We never got above 90 degrees apparent but we saw as low as 130 before we decided to dive a little deeper and go wing and wing with the updated weather route. The boat was just humming along, carried full, Read More

Nothing to extraordinary really, but man what a night. My shift from 9 pm to midnight saw us lose about half our wind. Instead of blowing a great 18 kts from behind, the wind decided to drop to 8-10 kts but stayed right behind us such that the apparent wind speed was so low, Read More

It was a moderately windy day from the north at about 10-12 kts however it dropped to 6-8 kts overnight but we kept on sailing, because that’s what we do! By noon we had to drop the kite and went to the Genoa as the wind got up to 15 kts! So now that, Read More

If I was a superstitious man I would have to believe that my last entry claiming to found the wind was the primary reason for us losing the wind today. Since I’m not a superstitious man I think it makes it all the worse as I pour over as much weather info I can get my, Read More

We keep on motoring…. motoring…. Well most of the time anyways. Jean and I hoisted the kite this morning at a little after 9am and have had it flying on a beam reach ever since. The winds have been light but good enough to keep sailing with true wind speeds from 7-9 kts for, Read More

Not much to report today. Not much wind, not much sea life and not much of anything to do…. We are heading a little south of west in the hopes that the wind will be a little more stable around 18 degrees south and we should be out past Isla Revillagigedo sometime tomorrow, which, Read More

Another day of sailing! We had good pressure all day and all night and were sailing pretty much 40-50 degrees off the wind to keep our boat speed up. The wind was from the NNW through the NNE so our course was up and down a bit but we made some good distance directly, Read More

We are on our way! The forecast looks to have variable winds for the next week or so, however if we can just stay area of some of the slower wind patches I’m sure we will make excellent time. We had a great run for the first four hours out of Neuvo Vallarta as, Read More
