What an interesting few days!! A labyrinth of mangroves with an abundance of White Egrets, stone cairns overlooking the ocean, and an unexpected hiking adventure teetering on the very exposed crest of a mountain range. I’m sitting in our cockpit with the canvas windows completely open, listening to the gentle movement of water lapping at …
We arrived at Evaristo a few days earlier to shelter from the wind. It blew up to 30 knots yesterday keeping us locked down in the boat. Today we went on an adventure. At about 9am we called up Tim and Robin on Nani Ola to see if they wanted to join us on a …
We left El Cardonal on Isla Partida in the morning with flat water. As we picked up are anchor Tim and Robin of Nani Ola came up on their tender. Nani Ola was the boat I help into the anchorage the night before. TIm and Robin thanked us again while asking where we were headed. …
We started up the engine at 8 am after over a month in La Paz to head to somewhere new. Even if our parts would arrive it was going to take some time as DHL seemed to have them on a terminal hold in Ohio since the 18th of February.

Today was a success in one way, I finished the hydronic heat exchanger between the engine and the water heater.

After the fun of the previous evening, we took today to get to work on some long overdue projects. These projects were long overdue mostly because we needed parts from Amazon. I could begin to install the fixes now that parts had arrived. The main project was to get the hydronic loop set up for …
We spent the evening hours sitting in the cockpit of Red Witch talking ideas. There were the usual suspects, Jason, Sheya, and Falcon (their six week old son), Matt from the catamaran Nabu, and Emily and I. The conversation flowed smoothly from subject to subject. It was amazing. Have you considered the true blessings of …
Carnival in La Paz, Mexico. Up until today, it’s been mostly really loud thumping base keeping us awake until 2am…man, have we really gotten that old? Tonight, we went into town to actually experience this tradition of indulgence and fun before the fasting of Lent begins After a morning of emails and group contracts , …
