Landfall on Google Maps Street View

It was surreal watching the Google Maps car drive down the main street in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle…even weirder to find our boat on Google Maps street view, comfortably chilling in her slip at Marina Riviera Nayarit.

Burros–Nearby Mexican Surf Spot With A Sprinkling Of Bikinis

We went to Burros the other day, a little surf spot not too far from La Cruz, and had a blast. It was my first time there. I can’t wait to go back. With a better camera. I reached down to pick up a big piece of shed bark and right before my fingers made […]

Sayulita Saturdays

It’s been something like 6 years since we last visited Sayulita and in the interim, it looks like the money fairy dumped a load or two on what used to be a sleepy little surf town. You can still see the bones of what used to be, but there’s no denying that a lot of […]

Walmar and the Quest for Freon

In general, when it comes to boats, Murphy is always waiting in the wings bilge to kick up his heels and have a little fun. Gotta hand it to him, dude’s got a twisted sense of humor. Our refrigeration system went offline yesterday, which is a pretty big deal since we no longer live in […]

Random La Cruz de Huanacaxtle

We spent a month in Puerto Vallarta (pre-boat) a couple of years after I got hurt. I was still in a wheelchair and that’s the biggest reason we came–hoping that the much warmer climate and water might loosen up some of the scar tissue in my muscles and help get me moving again. The trip […]

Random Puerto Vallarta

We were going to Puerto Vallarta one day, and got off the bus too early. Walked along the beach for a while and then took a shortcut up a dry riverbed to get to the streets. Really glad we didn’t miss out on all cool things we saw.

Looking For Crocodiles

One of the first things we saw after pulling into Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay, was a little African Queen-type tour boat that’ll take you deep into the mangrove swamps so you can maybe see some crocodiles. Eli was all, “That’s kind of cool, but we can totally do that in the dinghy for […]

Duct Tape On The Rocks

“If…anchorage…Duct Tape is on the rocks…,” was pretty much all I picked out before the VHF went crazy with static and people stepping on each other. We turned up the radio and started sweeping the far shoreline with binoculars. “Don’t know if anyone can help…looks pretty bad…please, there’s a boat on the rocks outside the […]
