3/25/2016 Crossing to Baja
Our internet capabilities have been very limited, so, I've mainly been posting photo's of our adventures from my phone onto Facebook. Anyway, the last month or so has seen alot of travel for both of us. We stayed in Marina La Cruz for almost two months, and during that time; we flew to Tapachula to bring the car up to La Cruz,, then we drove back to Az. to check on the house, then I flew to Ixtapa for the annual surf trip, Karin stayed at home, and then drove down to La Cruz with our good friend Gen. Since then, we've mostly sailed north to Mazatlan, with two stops on the way, at Chacala, and Mantachen (terrible no-seeums!), On the way into Marina Mazatlan, we encountered a dredging barge mid channel!, he navigated far enough away for us to clear the narrow entrance. Now the weather window looks good, so tomorrow morning we depart for Baja. I finally downloaded some photo's....
After returning the car from Tapachula, Mike and Doreen from St. Leger and Ted and Honey from Patron ( both circumnavigators!) along with Isabel,we all piled in for a roadtrip to Sayulita for lunch at Sayulita fish tacos.
Paul and Judy from S/V Grace led us on a beautiful hike along the south side of Banderas Bay.
Feb. 14th... the sailboat Rage broke free from it's anchorage and the La Cruz sailing community arrived quickly to recover everything possible.
At anchor in Chacala, a couple of ocean swimmers came by our boat, after being adopted by a curious seagull. We invited them on board, and enjoyed some good conversation and cerveza!

2/10/2016; Photo's along the way
I'm trying to download as many photos as I can before the internet drops out again... here goes!
Hotel on fire in Zihuatenejo, New Years Eve; fortunately nobody was hurt!
Cargo traffic was heavy! We love our AIS receiver!
This grain carrier got caught in the Cat 5 hurricane last year... the Captain put her on the rocks, and again, nobody got hurt!
Good size Jack Cravalle swimming under the boat.
Starting to see whales again!
Well, this took an hour; so that's it for now......

La Cruz Marina- 2/5/2016
As we continue moving north, internet has been difficult, as a result, it has been a long time since we updated the blog. We are here in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, at the marina. We flew to Tapachula and retrieved the car; now, we are finishing up boat projects, and spending time with our good friends Mark and Isabel from Jolly Dogs. We may leave by the 18th, but the weather to the north is still pretty rough, so....we'll see! No pictures for now, the upload takes forever, and then the internet drops out. I'll do a photo post eventually.
