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...

Part of Plan B
Included a Woody car show with cousins, Julianne, Carolyn and Bergie. The girl cousins asked for a synonym for "woody"...Not sure why, but our conversations always turn to the gutter (or poop).
Way cool cars.
Incredible restorations. Lots of shine. Lots of money. And funny car show clothes.
And a dog.
Did I mention lots of money?And my dream car.Only not in these colors.
1st Mate - do you have the 21 window model??? Or a basic? I have to have the curved windows on the roof (21 or 23 window). Sorry, no basic one for me. Only the rare hard to come by one for me. Um, maybe that light mint green & white. Blue & white, bing cherry would work, grey & white, just not green and green...
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

Hey, I've got a VW van like that, only in bing cherry with a white top. New paint! Needs work.
What a great bus!

Nice choice.... it's you! What colors would you choose? Purple tones?
