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...

Tropical Storm Julio

Here it comes!
Our first tropical storm of the season.
Oh yipee.It's been raining off and on since yesterday.
100% gray cloud cover.
And it's moving towards us from Cabo San Pucas, oops I mean Lucas.
I do that all the time...

Interesting computer paths.We will be checking weather all day.
And in between checking weather I am going to work a little this morning, then in the afternoon we have an "Apples to Apples Tournament" scheduled with "Capricorn Cat".
Gee - do we know how to have fun or what?

We also are going to take the sunshade - sunshade? There's no sun out there today! rainshade down, put out a few more docklines and prepare the panga tied next to us...
The panga has two wimpy docklines out and their bimini up.
And the boat on the other side of the panga has it's Conastoga wagon cover up.
Which might mysteriously disappear in 50 kt winds...
And show up on our boat.

Also, consider yourselves lucky.
A power surge caused by lightning took out our big computer the other day.
I haven't figured out how to load pictures from my camera to the laptop yet.
So I can't tantalize you with photos of raindrops...
Everyone say, "Oh yipee" at the same time now.

So here we kept "wishing for rain" and now we have it.
