Gwen gets to sail with the America's cup boats, here she leaves PRADA in our wake in San Francisco Bay, well crossed wakes anyway. Very cool!

We have been in Vancouver for a few weeks to deal with the usual stuff and are preparing to head back to A-TRAIN shortly. She is in Palmyra Marina in La Paz. We have a good load of new gear to bring along and plan to do a thorough detailing and provisioning before heading North in Sea of Cortez to ride out the balance of hurricane season 2014 which ends in November. A summary Blog entry will follow soon outlining our travels and some of our experiences so far which is long overdue. It has been so interesting and all consuming just cruising day to day that we have been really negligent on posting and while home we set up the Ham Radio system to be able to post to the Blog via Ham which will make it easy to do and no need for a wifi connect except for posting photos. We will also post some photos as we gain wifi along the way as well. To date we have had a phenomenal experience sailing down the West coast and up the Sea of Cortez. The worst thing so far,,, desert dust is a bit of a pain. The best thing so far,,, the people of Baja and smaller cities in Norther Mainland Mexico have been fantastic.

Punta Chivato, a shell collectors dream come true, most people just stand there shaking their head and wondering how it could be possible that so many shells could be in one location. WOW! Gwen collected a few but it was better to just look and leave them there.
