Hockles Suck. Also, I may have tied an Air Bowline.
From the backlog: When we upped anchor in Turtle Bay, we came face to face with a weird looking section of 3-strand that turned out to be a Hockle [cue foreboding music]. Innocuous little word, isn’t it? Rhymes with cockle and is the equivalent of the blue screen of death for your anchor line. Worse, […]

8 March 2013
Even though Mag Bay is certifiably ginormous, there’s not a lot of buildup, so to speak. It’s chock-full of scenic wonder and amazing wildlife and not much else. Awesome for relaxing and recharging your soul and all, but kind of inconvenient when your frickety-fracking whatisit finally gives up the ghost and there is NO HOPE […]

3 March 2013
Puerto Magdalena is a sleepy little fishing village inside Bahia Magdalena–and by sleepy I mean, I fell asleep practically as soon as we got the anchor set. But also, it’s really laid-back and incredibly isolated. The whole town goes dark around 10pm every night, when they shut the generator down and there is no way […]

18 February 2013
I might not have found the Octopus’ Garden Cafe (El Jardín del Pulpo) in La Cruz De Huanacaxtle if it weren’t for the anemones in Monterey, Ca. I know that that’s a crazy statement but it’s true. In Monterey one morning, Eli and I were laying on our stomachs on the dock with our heads […]

16 January 2013
Bahia Magdalena is one of those places you really ought to see if you’re cruising down the Baja coast. Says so right in all the guidebooks and as it turns out, they do not lie. It’s huge, first off, and this far down, the desert starts to give way to a more tropical feel. It’s […]

8 January 2013
Coming down the coast of Baja, our internet connection was mostly cruddy, which pretty much ruled out blog updates. Even with the Telcel dongle, we found ourselves generally without a reliable connection. In Turtle Bay, it took days and days to pay for our fuel, because the town’s cell signal was kaput and the fuel […]

7 December 2012
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 […]

3 December 2012
We arrived in Turtle Bay a few days ago. Much to our surprise there was a strong Morro Bay contingent already present. Jim McWilliams and Ellie on Timoneer, Manny and Lola on Desire (?) and the old Virg’s Fishing boat Shirlee Too were all here at anchor! Seriously, out of about a dozen boats, a […]

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, […]
