The Story of guy and gal!

That is a good thing ...isn't  it?  The weather is changing and we are enjoying warmer temps and clearer skies.  The days are longer the morning comes earlier.  The top dog did not win the Super Bowl last night................first football game I watched in its entirety since high school.  In those days I guess the players were the attraction right?  and the cheer leading was fun. Our plans here in the Baja seem to very changeable and we are able to adapt quite readily and that is a good thing.  This week we are making our way up into the central part of the Gulf of California as you know it........the locals call it the Sea of Cortez.  As you look at the map there are many beautiful small islands islas that we look forward to anchoring by and enjoying the beautiful water and surrounding areas.............there are alot of shells to be picked and agats (stones) to be admired and fish to be caught -right Captain? Not sure how  much inte...

Thought that might get your attention!!!!  HAHAHHA! Caught up with our good friends Don and Jacquie from S/V Little Christian , who have just returned from a month up to Loretto..........the area we are just heading up to.  It was great to chat with them laugh and share our mutual thoughts of faith.   Check out there blog  as they are followers of ours as well. Had a great supper last night at a very outdoorsy restaurant called "La Costa" ---set right on the water in the middle of the boat yard area...............very picturesque as the sun set with the masts all silhouetted.  Very nice!  The ambiance very tropical with dirt floors and palm reeds thatched to make a roof.  It is a rather large establishment--the location where us girls have our SASS gatherings.  The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic.  I dare to say the third best meal out I have had yet. The first was a great steak supper at El Patrons with Roz the ...

It is so good to feel and see the sunshine this morning! Yesterday was a great time with the gals as we went on the hunt for a "Kat" carrier for Joey. Yes,  for the plane  going home  we have booked our flight to return to the beautiful Comox Valley.  Looks like we are returning April 19th.......time is going very quickly. This is a bitter sweet time as we do love our life here and all our amazing fellow sailors.  Today, we are going to confirm our storage spot for the summer.  There is alot involved here as we must consider storms, extreme heat and security.  We have met a very nice couple on S/V Two Can Play who are Americans. They  live here  and have a business  as boat surveyors and are assisting us. No pressure now Captain but we still have the north part of the Gulf of California to explore.  We are hoping to sail out of here this weekend and will begin to work our way up then back here for April. Check out the Picture G...

S isters A cquiring                                          S ailing S kills                                                   That is the womens gathering that happens monthly here in La Paz as a networking opportunity for those of us out here learning to be sailors: some of the women have been cruising for many many years and some for only a few months, therefore the time spent together involves many exchanges of stories, some funny and some very educational.  Some of the ladies are co captains and others willing first mates all are ...

SUNFISH: Not sure if you remember but all along the PNW we had sightings of this strange appearance on the top of the water. Friends told us "they-it" where Sun Fish but try as we might we could never really get a close look to identify.

Olive Oil Dough, this versatile, rich dough works nicely in pizza, focaccia or olive bread. The fruitier the olive oil, the better the flavour!
