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 […]

4 December 2012
While we were hanging out in Ensenada, we became friendly with a neighbor who, honestly—gave off kind of weird vibes from the moment we met him. A couple of other families with kids also got a strange feeling about him and independent of each other, we all came to the conclusion that he was likely […]

26 October 2012
It’s easy, when picking your way down the coast toward Mexico, to live life, if not in vacation mode, then at least with a sense of urgency. You are somewhere for only a short while, and it seems only right and natural to make the most of every port you pass through. You look for […]

24 October 2012
I don’t know when it happened. Some time in the last couple of months I’ve become…sunset jaded. I didn’t even realize it had happened until Steve yelled down for us to come and check out the sunset and a little part of my mind went, “Nah…I’d rather continue hunting down this stupid rss feed problem, […]

23 October 2012
A couple of days after the bulk of his crew jumped ship, Captain Dog managed to hire on some new deckhands. I’m wondering how he finds these people, because most of this new crew look just as green as the last. Some kind of temp service that specializes in matching workers to jobs that they […]

He kind of deserved it. There are a couple of shark-diving boats that operate out of Cruiseport Village marina, here in Ensenada. For three months of the year, they are paid extraordinarily good money to haul insane vacationers out to popular shark haunts where they can frolic in the water amongst cute and cuddly maneaters. […]

19 October 2012
While Hurricane Paul peters out along the coast of Baja, doing nothing much except pouting big grey clouds across the sky, folks in the marina are bustling about–some of us are heading south in a few weeks, others are hunkering down for what passes as winter in Ensenada, and a few just plain bustle all […]

18 October 2012
As you may know, I enjoy frequenting cafes. I’ve grown acquainted with a retired man who also visits the cafe who lives across the street from the one that I go to most often. He has three topics of conversation. Ten percent is current news. Another ten percent is bad jokes. The other eighty percent […]

1 October 2012
There’s this cafe in Ensenada that has the best apple pie in the world. I mean that. The World. Ironic isn’t it? I don’t go there often because it’s as expensive as Starbucks but every once in a while it’s OK. Their pie is over four inches thick and it’s layered with cheese and when it’s […]

28 September 2012
Yesterday I went out for coffee again, obviously, and had to do a couple of errands. After the first two, a stop at a pharmacia and something else that I can’t remember right now, I had to repeat the paint stripper journey. I went to the same paint store and to the same taco stand […]
