AND WE’RE OFF!
FINALLY we’re leaving Ensenada. Looks like 51 hours to Turtle bay and we’ll rest and wait out a big swell there for three days. Nest will be 48 hours to Magdalena bay, rest a day and then a day and a half to Cabo San Lucas. 2 days rest there and then 50 hours to […]

12 November 2012
The internet here at Cruiseport has been mostly down, so we got a Telcel USB dongle. Of course that’s imperfect. The speed is great but we paid for 3 gigabytes and it says we need to recharge it already, even though their software says that we’ve only used 1.4 gigabytes. Fixing that will require a […]

30 October 2012
We’re making our big push to get ready to sail south. Lots of work to be done, you saw part of the list a few days ago. Everything needs to be right, we’ll have 300 mile stretches with no place to pull into if things go wrong. We’ve wanted a watermaker all along but they’re […]

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. […]

I had a lot of keys. House, deadbolt, garage, camper, racecar, shop door, shop deadbolt, shop other door, shop other deadbolt, shop 3rd door, suitcases, shop storage, shop bathroom, big tool box, side tool box, roll around tool box, race tool box, truck, Subaru, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche, wheel locks, boatyard bathroom, boatyard shower, and the […]

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 […]
