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...

Turtle Tracks
There was something interesting on the small beach at Costa Baja! A turtle had wandered all over the beach in circles and loops then finally found a spot to lay her eggs.Someone had marked the nest with small clumps of seaweed and a traffic cone.The next day we noticed a fence around it. We were all happy to see the protection that is given to the turtle nests.
We also found a dead eel on the beach.Interesting things come up on the beaches the day after a hurricane...
Thanks Alaskan Dave - think I just run right back out to that beach and get that eel! ;) Actually eel is my favorite item to order when I eat sushi - it's cooked with a sweet teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds on it - YUM!
We cruised Mexico's West Coast for 3 years on our prior boat, "Thistle" a Columbia 50. Went back to California in 2000 and bought the "new boat" in 2004. We then spent a year and a half cruising in Mexico. We just did the "Baja Bash" ~ sailed up the outside of Baja and returned to SoCal! We are We are now back to work for awhile...
A thought we say to ourselves everyday:
"You'll only regret the things you didn't do".
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
"Life is either a daring adventure or Nothing." ~ Helen Keller
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." ~ John A. Shedd
"Make it happen." ~ Alan Burg of the sailing vessel Toshal
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away." ~ Anonymous
“Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.” ~ Rabbi Hyman Schachtel
"Make 'someday' today." ~ From inside a Dove candy wrapper
