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...

Invasion of the Mega Yachts

Sounds like a bad movie, doesn't it?
It sure has happened here on the Pacific side of Mexico.
I can't even imagine what it is like in the Caribbean...
When we were here on "Thistle" in the old days, we saw one of these.
One time.
But it did have a helicopter.
Now they are everywhere, including in front of us and next to us.
They anchor in the hook at Isla San Francisco.
Ballandra.
Agua Verde.
And literally take over Ensenada Grande.

This is one we saw at Ensenada Grande a few years back.

They don't all have helicopters.


But they all have Florida porch lights and generators they run all night.
And jet skis.
Always jet skis.
Why is that?
You never see jet skis on a sailboat.

So my plan is to buy one of these.And get really, really good at flying it.
I will paint a little heli-pad on the top of the bimini.
Fly my little remote control helicopter off of my very own heli-pad and buzz the big boys mega yachts.
For fun.
For laughs.
If they have a sense of humor.
I guess I could do it with remote control jet skis too... but I think there is an un-written law somewhere that states you cannot have a jet ski on a sailboat.
