Julie, hot and sunny
A year ago today we cut the dock lines in Seattle and headed for Mexico. Time flies. We have had good times and bad, happy times and sad, challenges and rewards. What we haven't had are regrets.

The most unexpected part of cruising is the friendships we have made. I know that we'll be in contact with some of those friends for years to come.

Wondering about the picture? That's Monty. He celebrated our 1 year cruising anniversary by falling in. We don't know how or when it happened but early this morning I found him wet and scared while clinging to the massive vertical rock wall that surrounds the harbor. We had to rescue him by dinghy.
