La Paz is great!

Abaroa boat yard is a happy place and we love this beautiful little city.

My Hero!

I am just sneaking few pictures of my heroes, Captans, Sailors, fishermen and Chefs!

From Mag Bay to La Paz

We had a wonderful sailing voyage on the west coast of Baja California and though it was cold, we loved the isolated, desertic coast. The reward is turning the cape to Cabo San Lucas and it is hot! Hot! Hot! Off go the winter clothes. Nothing like sailing under a full moon, half naked! After reeling in a poisonous sea snake and a blue shark, Domi finally got us a tuna that was transformed immediatly into sushi. We tried to wash it down with a bottle of home made sake from 1986 but the ocean drank it instead of us for it was totally undrinkable and it was a nice way to celebrate the second crossing of the Tropic of Cancer! And then we watched the manta rays flying over the ultramarine blue water. La Paz is a beautiful little city, flowers, small beaches, fishermen pongas on the shore, la promenade des anglais, french riviera style where we ride our bicycles. We will be hauling the boat for maintenance and bottom paint at the" sympatico" Abaroa boat yard in business for 120 years or more...We will be staying in La Paz, may be... for two weeks...

Few pictures from France, Canada, Costa Rica, Turtle Bay, Mag Bay.

Holla again, long time no see...

So much has happened since our last entry. We spent xmas and new year in France with family and friends, mostly in the snow...then came back to Ensenada and flew to Canada for a month to work...in snow again...then came back to Ensenada and flew to Costa Rica see the kids for a month...in the sun this time...and came back to Ensenada to get ready to sail south! After three days at sea, we are now in Turtle Bay, half way south on the west coast of Baja California. We have been enjoying this little, dusty, friendly mexican fishing village, at the end of a dirt road crossing the desertic Baja, for more than a week as we had some sail repairs to do. On our trip from Ensenada to Turtle Bay, we had a wonderful wind and for the first time since we left Canada, have been able to sail, sail, sail... but a little too much wind for the genoa! We are getting ready to leave on sunday, may 7th, for La Paz, the boat being in dire need of paint job above and below waterline.
