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...

Gearing Up for Our Two Nights of Parade of Lights!

Ventura has not one, but two nights of parades!
Always the best party of the year in the harbor!
Well, of course, because we always have a party.
Each night.
Then on Sunday we are wiped.

No! Are you nuts? Way too much work for us... simple strand of lights around the lifelines and some in the cockpit. Nah, we don't drive our boat around, we sit and let the parade pass us by. Way easier. Can have vino that way too...!
