Eating out is always an adventure in a foreign land. Saturday, Susie found a Mexican restaurant in the marina that had gorgeous online photos of their delectable entrees. Nothing that we couldn’t get at home, but we hadn’t eaten Mexican in a while ( except for Susie's great tacos). When we sat [...]

Reflections

Our ensign (national flag) has taken a beating this year. They usually last a couple of seasons, but the higher winds we’ve encountered this year have taken their toll, much more so than on other national flags we've seen. That’s probably because other countries’ are usually a single piece of printed [...]

All aboard - and hang on!

Susie solved a problem that had been perplexing us since we got to the Caribbean: if we were to swim off the dinghy, how would we get back in?? (The tubes are big, and the freeboard is over a foot.) We considered a variety of steps/stairs, but nothing fit. A common problem was your legs disappearing [...]

On the seas again! (Sorry, Willie)

We had a great two weeks home for Summit's 7th (!!) birthday, seeing family and friends and enduring two dumpings, the second of which caused us to scramble and change our return flights - but we made it back to Antigua . There were, of course, lots of boat projects in our bags, but I wasn't expecting [...]

Italian tonight!

Last night in the islands before we head home for a few days. Susie does great Italian dinners, but we're eating out tonight. (Last night, too - great Mexican wraps aka burritos and margaritas that took us down for the count!) Finished up our pre-departure projects today and had a refreshing dip in the [...]

We arrived Thursday 11/14 after a beautiful overnight trip. We had porpoise join us along the way for a bit, and we were welcomed to the cape by a magnificent show of breaching whales. (Boy, those guys a BIG and make huge splashes!) As soon as the port agent has our paperwork Friday, we will be heading out to Puerta Vallarta (a two-overnight sail) to get out of the way of a storm coming through Sunday.

When we arrived, we immediately put up the sunshade as it's certainly hot in the sun and then celebrated the trip with rum punches. A great Mexican lunch ensued, followed by a very deep nap for a couple hours! By then, it was time for a marvelous Italian dinner. Such is the life of a sailor!

Forgot to mention that on the way to Bahia Santa Maria, I caught my first (ocean) fish - a yellow fin tuna. Great eating! (certainly fresh!)
