Wandering Through CEARTE, Ensenada’s Center for the Arts
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, […]

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 […]

11 August 2012
Apparently Mexico beat Brazil in the Olympic soccer final and won the gold. I had no idea until I pedaled out for coffee this morning. The whole waterfront and gringo shopping district (shopping for gringos, not shopping for gringos) was filled with Mexicanos locos screaming VIVA MEXICO! from cars, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles or anything else, all […]

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.

19 May 2012
This was supposed to be a picture of pigeon parking. Just up the street from the dinghy dock, we spied a smallish flock of pigeons in various states of repose, scattered liberally amongst the blue lines marking off a handicapped parking space. They were supremely uninterested in us, which of course made them irresistible. It […]

The sail from Santa Cruz to Monterey was stunning. Perfect weather. Short hop–maybe 5 or 6 hours. For an hour or so, the wind and the swell and our heading all fell together so that we didn’t even need to touch the wheel at all. The boat just sailed herself along as if she already […]

12 March 2012
One of the funny quirks about living aboard is the compulsion you develop for situational awareness. First thing in the morning, even before you pee, you’ve got to stick your head out the companionway and have a little look-see session with the wind and the waves. What’s the weather doing? Which direction is the boat facing? […]

31 December 2011
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 […]

2 November 2011
There’s a great sailing magazine called latitude 38 here in the San Francisco Bay area. In the November issue they’re running a nice article about us. If you want to see it you can go to latitude38.com and click on the magazine cover, the picture of the happy kids on a boat. Then you will […]
