A Cultural and Spiritual Experience La Cruz de Huanacaxtle definitely holds a special place in our hearts. After all, it was where we spent a good chunk of our 2023 cruising season. Not only does the town offer lively music, incredible restaurants, and a laid back vibe but it's...
Hola, La Cruz The warm smell of fire and jungle wafted through the cabin as the rising sun painted our interior golden. Our family had left the day prior, leaving just Chris and I in Chacala. With no more schedules, we fully sacrifice our plans to the wind and tides opening the...
Mission Accomplished “Alright, just look for the painfully white people” Chris said as we paddled closer to shore. The water was still as my paddle cut through it, doing my best to keep up with my darling husband. It still didn't feel real: that morning we had woken up in...
The Long Haul (Part 3) Cabo to Chacala My jaw ached from hours of tightly clenching, while my fingers grew numb from white knuckling the companionway that I had braced myself within. It was February 16th, 2023 and We were crossing the Sea of Cortez from Cabo San Lucas with our...

Ensenada to Bahia Santa Maria and a Birthday at Sea Marina Coral was a warm welcome into Mexico, but at the price of $150USD/night not even their hot tub could convince us to stay any longer. We left quickly after our boy “Franky” escorted Chris to immigration and back for a...
Adios, California! (February 4th, 2023) Our last month in California was pretty action packed. A quick recap for those of you just joining us: We escaped Morro Bay after experiencing horrendous weather and fixing our diesel engine, arrived in Ventura where we ran around like...
An unexpected stop, with unexpected misadventures VENTURA TO CAT HARBOR THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN - but at that point, what was? Accepting the unexpected had certainly made me a more patient person, and I wasn’t necessarily opposed to stopping at Catalina. On the contrary, I was...
Our Short and Sweet Visit Back in Ventura I cried when we saw the breakwater; not just because I was so excited to be out of Morro Bay, but because we were returning to our homeport with a story to tell. It had been nearly six months since we cast off, leaving our dock family...
