Rigging Your Cruising Sailboat Yourself

April 14, 2022 1 Comment

The rig of a tall ship is not what we are talking about in this article, but the picture is stunning.

Replacing the standing rigging in your own boat is a bit scary the first time. Let us take the mystery out of it for you.

The Northern Sea (of Cortez)

June 16, 2021 Leave a Comment

The northern parts of the Sea of Cortez captured us wholly. The clear waters so delightful for dipping; the pelicans landing in an explosion of flying water and then calmly eating the fish they had caught; the rays leaping in diamonds of water; huge Fin whales blowing and heard half a mile away; the orange […]

Puerto Balandra and La Paz

May 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

Crossing the Sea, Los Muertos & Los Frailes

May 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

The passage was a little bumpy during the night – lots of waves but not much wind – and no wind during the days. But the second night was the worst, we got no sleep and were tossed much of the night. This is a shortcut that is not worth it – go to Mazatlan […]
