Cabo Frailes Well my logbook starts back up at 1/16 so its missing 6 days without writing after we pulled into the bay. Our first day would have been 1/11 and the wind was still blustery from our exciting sail up. And from each day on it just got stronger and stronger. There were 9 […]
San jose part 2 1/ 6 out in the anchorage with piña. Pretty weird being anchored out there without claire on the boat, bobbing around. ‘sweet dreams’ was anchored close by so they kept me company. Out there for a few days on the boat alone I noticed things. For instance one day the wind […]
Bahia San Jose del Cabo and Puerto Los Cabos Marina 12/29 -1 /5 We had a quick motor on calm water to Bahia San Jose del Cabo. ‘Sweet Dreams’ was just ahead of us and ‘Serenity’ was already tucked in there, having left the day before us. We dropped anchor right near ‘Serenity’ on the […]
FOOD post! As per request by my mother. (which must always be fulfilled!) Here is a change from the usual post of 150 pictures and as Claire puts it, “an essay of boring ship’s log stuff that no one cares about.” Well hopefully soon she will be posting her own creative entries and photographs. If […]
12/28 We got a tip about a “secret” cove a few miles up from Cabo San Lucas. We heard that it could fit 2 or 3 boats on anchor and that it was where the locals took the tourists for snorkeling. After exploring Cabo we saw a few post cards with Playa Santa Maria on […]
Cabo San Lucas 12/18-12/27 A lot has happened in Cabo San Lucas. We were there for 9 days! Our longest stop yet. After not seeing much civilization for the past month it was a huge culture shock. We pulled into a bay loaded with water taxis, jetskis, parasailing, mega yachts, kayaks, etc. We threw our […]
Bahia Magdalena – Man of War Cove 12/14 Woke up to shrimpers on a panga trying to sell us huge shrimp but we had our fill the past few days and turned them down, plus purchasing isn’t our style. We signed the log book of Gregorio the local port captain. It was interesting to see […]
Bahia Santa Maria 12/12 Ron was here! We met him in Abreojos and hung out in San Juanico. He’s solo sailing ‘Mar de Luz’ his beautiful 42ft. boat from Half Moon Bay and surfing along the way. Once we got the anchor down we ate some food and crashed. Night sails are no doubt what […]
Bahia San Juanico – Scorpion Bay 12/5 After a long but fast nightsail we pulled in Bahia San Juanico “scorpion bay” ahead of schedule at 5:00AM. We decided not to pull in and drop anchor until at least the break of dawn. Because this place is a famous surf spot with 6 points of a […]
Abreojos 12/2 – 12/4 Pulled up the anchor at 8:30AM and pulled out of Hipolito for another day sail south to Abreojos which translates to “open your eyes” due to the fact that coming into the bay you have to be aware that there are quite a lot of reefs, shoals, rocks, and breaking waves. […]
