A Cross Ocean Experience
Virginia and Richard Cross spent 5 years preparing themselves, their family and their boat MANDY for November 2008 when they set sail from San Diego, CA to head south to Mexico, Central America and beyond.
Profile for A Cross Ocean Experience

Captain: Richard & Virginia Cross
Hailing Port: San Diego, CA USA
The Crew: Having spent 30 years in the racehorse business we felt it was time for a different kind of adventure. Both originally from England we have sailed for fun for over 30 years. We have owned MANDY for five of those and are planning to head south for Mexico etc. in November 2008 - ready or not. When we get to Panama we will decide which way to turn; through the canal or across the big puddle. The eventual goal, whether by boat or not, is Galicia in north-west Spain where we have a ruined farm cottage and barn (pictures in the galleries) that we plan to restore. We love our 3 grown children and our parents but this window of time is reserved just for us. It has been a long time coming. World economy sucks. So what?
