Throwback Thursday: 2010ish

Our family has had more than the average allotment of medical issues. This was Eli’s last big medical thing he had to get out of the way before we could sell everything and take off cruising. Because achondroplasia is a bone-growth disorder, the ability of his skeleton to support the normal weight of his body […]

Drunken Boaters

This is not the post that you thought it would be. You might expect me to complain about the drinking habits of boaters. It wouldn’t be out of character if I did. I’m not. I want only to explain. We have friends, quite a few here and along the way, that subsist mainly on alcohol. It’s […]

The first time I met Hans (S/V Lifee P. Baker), he was adrift in a dinghy out in the middle of Cruiseport Village Marina in Ensenada. We were heading the opposite direction, toward the laundromat. “Do you think he needs a tow?” I asked Steve, as we watched Hans trying to resuscitate his outboard. “Wouldn’t […]

Turtles All The Way Down

Turtle Bay gets its name from the turtles that used to cruise the waters, before they all got hunted into oblivion. The shape of it is kind of Tortuga-ish as well. Makes me think that one of the great ancient turtles who carry the world upon their shells maybe passed on one day and all […]

On Leaving Ensenada

A good steady wind combs the grey cotton wool clouds into a smooth wispy mass that knits itself together pretty well, only showing thin in a few spots, with stars shining through. It’s coming on 9 at night and the fat November moon keeps climbing higher in the sky, dragging her mantle of stars and […]

Kick a hole right in the sky

Hurricane Fabio may be spinning itself into dissipation but it’s not going down without a fight. Walking back from the dentist’s office last night we were treated to an epic, knock down drag out battle between Fabio and the setting sun.

Already. A decade and a half it’s been since the universe and the gods that be saw fit to favor us with the most wonderful and capricious April Fool’s day gift ever. People are always surprised we didn’t know ahead of time that Eli was going to have achondroplastic dwarfism. “Didn’t you have, like, prenatal […]

Neon Cotton Candy Electropunk Sunsets

Our friend John Somics is a Burning Man kind of artist who views the whole world as his palette. He’s a master carpenter who, after losing the tips of his index and ring fingers, had the tip of his undamaged middle finger shaved off to match because he didn’t want to look like he was […]
