1-2-3 WEEEe

  Our first trip to Isla Santa Espirita Santos was before I flew back to Vancouver. We had about 4 days to spend before I had to be back in La Paz to catch a bus to Cabo. Well those 4 days corresponded to to 4 days of pretty intense northers (averaging 20 knots),, Read More

Fresh produce

La Paz was great for stocking up on groceries. We stayed at the Marina Fonature, which was very cheap (8 pesos/foot) as well as anchored out in the harbour and used the dinghy dock at Marina De La Paz for 1.50 pesos / day. Both options worked well – Marina Fonature is in easy, Read More

Happy to be home

  Well we survived. No, not another storm or anything so exciting. Fynn and I survived both the 19 hour day to flight to Vancouver and the 12 hour day to get back. It was pretty intense… Back in October I had to decide if I would be flying home for my 20 week, Read More

  Cabo was lovely when we woke up, the arches were glowing in the sunrise and the beaches and hotels were quiet. This quickly deteriorated into more and more chaos. Out came the jetskis and the pangas loaded with tourists, then the party cruises ad the music blaring from the beachfront restaurants. The Bay, Read More

That trip down from Bahia de Tortuga to Abraojos was the biggest weather Asunto has been in yet. We had wind holding steady at 30 knots and gusting higher, and the sea were consistently 15 feet. Assent was amazing. We were flying downwind on the poled out genoa, hitting 11 knots as we surfed, Read More

Ok here is the truth. This is this first time I have done my full night shift in a long while. And to make it worse I only have one shift- from 8-10. This is intentional as I a pretty occupied taking care of Fynn during the day and don’t have a lot of, Read More

I’m not sure which day was more exciting. The day Fynn was born or the day she became a fish. We are in San Juanico, a small town centered around gringo hill. The American influence is apparent here- trees planted in yards, english signs and people playing in the water on SUPs, kayaks and, Read More

We found out that there was a really bad fire in our townhouse complex. Our unit wasn’t burnt, but half the building is gone, so we really don’t know what is happening next. It is hard being disconnected when big life events happen. We had also put a lot of our stuff into the, Read More

I finally was able to buy Fynn some crafting materials. Just the basics – paint, paper googly eyes, scissors, glue and other bits and bobs. I couldn’t stand the mess of paint before now- she was just too little and we don’t have a great space for it. Now she paints out in the, Read More

Arriving in Ensenada

We made it! Yippee, well to Mexico at least. There is still a long Baja Coast ahead of us but at least we have fulfilled the goal of sailing to Mexico. Kolby asked me if I really thought we would make it, when we talked of sailing away so many years ago. Honestly, I, Read More
