Taking Care of Business

It is official, we are the proud owners of an Ericson Alberg 35. It was a crazy day, 10+ foot seas, 16-20 knots of wind, swells coming from all directions. She handled it better than I did.

We were so tired, but managed to spend a little time in the hot tub relaxing . . . ahh what a life. Tomorrow we relax; well lets hope so.

Here we are after all the excitement and almost home.

San Diego Bound

The apartment is clean and bare, our things are sorted,stacked, and packed. Tearful goodbyes and last minute instructions given.

The car is stuffed so full we have 2 bags of clothes and a fishing pole lashed to the roof. Evey nook and cranny is filled with clothes, food, an anchor, electronics, yarn, miscellaneous boat gear and a cat.

We are excited, relieved, sad, happy and scared. We are on our way.

Run for the Border!

Life has been a series of closed doors and open doors. The current open door involves Mexico.
If you would have told us 4 months ago we would be heading to Mexico THIS season, we would have said you were nuts, but here we are.
This is our 2nd attempt at heading south, we have learned a lot, made some lifelong friends, had many ups and downs.

The last boat we owned was Quiet Moon, and if you are interested in the "back story" click on the link.

This trip has happened so fast, we are tearing around packing, planning and purchasing. Last year we took a year to prepare, this year, oh about 6 weeks!!! Yikes, well it should be easier, the second time around!! Well, maybe.

Looking forward to quieter times, quiet lagoons, snorkeling, and exploring Mexican villages. But mostly I am looking forward to meeting my new friends!
