We left San Francisco on February 10, 2010 with a plan to head south to Mexico and then make the innocently named "puddle jump" to the South Pacific (!!) this spring. From there, who knows?!?!?!? Maybe Fiji? Australia? New Zealand? For now, we're just thrilled to finally be out at sea! 
Finally good enough internet to upload and post videos!! Here’s some video we took of La Cruz, Mexico when we were there back in March of this year, prior to our crossing. Pay no attention to my horrible non-editing 🙂

The dolphin that wouldn’t swim with me (in Tenacatita)
April 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Funny, Life on the Boat, Mexico
“Oh, yeah, Tenacatita is great,” Louis says. “It’s a beautiful little anchorage and if you swim out from your boat a ways, the dolphins will come swim with you.” My eyes light up. “REALLY?!” “Yes!” Laura smiles. “We had two bottlenose dolphins come right up to us when we were there.” A few days later, […]

– As soon as we pulled into the La Cruz Marina last week, we started hearing this weird crackling noise, almost like it was starting to rain. As we lay in bed that night, we realized it was thousands of tiny sea monsters either 1) eating away at stuff growing on our hull and/or 2) […]

Finally, a taste of Paradise – Bahia Tenacatita, MX
April 8th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Beautiful, Mexico, Passages
Tenacatita is the first place we’ve been to, so far, where my first thought was NOT to get online and check email or facebook or post a blog. No, instead, my first thoughts were – WOW. THIS is what cruising is about… why didn’t we come here first?!?!!? Bahia Tenacatita is BEAUTIFUL. Compared to all […]

Spring Break
March 29th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Mexico, The Crew
Jon, one of the other boat owners, arrived from Colorado on Saturday to spend his spring break with us. He showed up with two enormous bags of goodies for Matt and the boat. It was like Christmas… if you count windvane parts, new hose, and mast track cars as presents. But, Jon brought some *truly* […]

For those who may not know, Matt and I met online. Yes, we are one of the (now) many couples who successfully negotiated through all the lies and faked pictures, were lucky enough to avoid the horror stories, and found the love of our life on WWW.MATCH.COM. Were it not the for the internet, I […]
Our First Stowaways
March 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Famous Firsts, Life on the Boat, Mexico, Passages
On the way down from Ensenada, we didn’t see any whales or dolphins (argh!! wtf?!?!?), but we had these funky little squids wash up on deck. If I had been thinking quickly, I would have snatched them up and thrown them on a hook to use as fish bait. Alas, they dried up before my […]

“What if I told you, Karen , that you couldn’t have anymore of anything… No more friends, no more money, no more anything, until you first got happy with what you have? Actually Karen , I’d never tell you that, because frankly, it’s not always true. But, if you’re not happy with what you’ve got, […]
