Well, we're here and getting settled in. We think we'll be here for a few weeks. Along the way, we saw humpback whales, sea turtles, dolphins and manta rays.

Well, we arrived in San Blas on Christmas afternoon. We anchored in Matanchen Bay for the night, and moved into the marina the next day to do some projects on the boat. The square at San Blas is really cool, and is always good people watching. Met some great people, and enjoyed the simple personality of town. The jungle tour was very cool with this area having over 300 species of birds, iguanas, and even a crocodile here and there. The estuary itself was quite interesting.

We'll be leaving on Monday, 1/3/2011 to Chacala anchorage, then Punta de Mita and La Cruz in Banderas Bay in the area of Puerto Vallarta. We think we'll be anchored in La Cruz for a few weeks before we move on south. So, until then.......

Happy 2011, and MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE!

Well, after three weeks of sailing and anchoring in some really cool places we made it to La Paz. These are just a few photos from the Sea of Cortez and down the Baja.

Last week of living on land

Well, we finally move out of our casita and onto Cuervo on 10/15.

We've worked hard getting ready for the move, and everything that we've done really looks good. We've met some good people while living here, and alot of them are also part of the sailing community, so we'll continue to see some of them down south in La Paz and Puerto Vallarta this winter.

We hope all of you are happy and well!

S/V CUERVO..back on the water

We had a perfect launch on Tuesday, 8/31. The entire process from work yard to our mooring ball on the bay, was a total of 30 minutes, we couldn't have done any better than that, THANKS TO CAPTAIN DAVE!

Party at our place

There's a jeeping reunion held annually in San Carlos, and it happens be be held at our place. We found out about it a couple of weeks ago, but really didn't know what to expect. The mexican people love their music, and love it loud! On Saturady, 8/21 we were invited to all the festivities by our new amigo Oscar. We joined them in their barbecue, cocktails, and danced to the band, what a blast! I think there were about 30 guys or so, and they all stayed the two nights between our place and 310 Behia. What a nice bunch of guys.

Oscar sent us some photos of the fun night, so I've posted a few. Everything wrapped up about 4:30 a.m. Darn they can party!
