Dinghy Days


Yahoo!! We have a dinghy! Now I won't have to swim to shore every time we find a cool spot to explore!

Seriously, a dinghy is like having a car to a cruiser, it makes life so much easier. Getting to town, bringing home the groceries, heading out for social engagement. It is a must.

It is older, but in good condition and the price was right. The seat was missing, so Greg, former owner, supplied a beautiful oak plank, planed the edges and delivered it to our marina. Nice guy! I'm sure our dinghy will not be the nicest, but we will have the most beautiful seat!

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!
