Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Jim is Singing "Me and Julio Down by the Boatyard"

Paul Simon would be proud...

This storm fizzled out then built back up!
It's been raining steadily for an hour or so (perfect timing as I drove "Capricorn Cat" to the grocery store and got back an hour ago).
Thanks Julio for waiting to start pouring until we got back to our boats!

The center is a little less than 30 miles South of us, so we figure the brunt of the storm will be here around 9 pm.There is not much wind to it at this point - maybe 35 gusting to 45.
We both made several deposits into the "Karma Bank" today, so we should be fine.
Tied up a panga...
Took the panga's bimini down...
Told the marina what canvas was up on which boats that someone may need to take down...
Can you say "duh"? Why someone would park their boat in a hurricane zone during hurricane season and leave their roller furling, sunshades, biminis, blah, blah, blah up is beyond me, so yes, can you say "duh"?
Took Wayne and Carol to the grocery store...
Rescued a almost floating away almost sinking dinghy...
Good enough for one day!
