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...

Too Early. Too Creepy.
Not one, but two hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific. In June. Yes, June. Way, super early.This means I should be happy to be in SoCal. Okay... Happy to be in SoCal. I'm working on that.
I wish you guys would sail south, through the canal, up around the peninsula and to the Texas coast so I could come see you! It's still nice on the Texas coast.... the oil is all going to the East. Especially down around Corpus.
Yeah, well maybe someday! "Manana" which means, "just not now" cause it's hurricane season... We would love to do that trip! I would love to get back to Florida and do more of the ICW and East Coast. Just manana... :)
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

Jomamma's got a good idea, but don't try it now.
