SEA OF CORTEZ Crossing PREP: Part 3🇲🇽 EPIRB Update, Wooden Bungs, Provisioning & Overseas Voting! 🗳️
We are getting closer and closer to casting off for Marina Puerto Escondido! In Part 3 of our Sea of Cortez crossing series, we turn our focus to critical safety checks, deep-dive provisioning, and the unique logistics of voting from abroad.
Safety always comes first on Noeta, so we walk through updating our EPIRBs and installing wooden bungs (soft wood plugs) on all of our new thru-hulls as an essential emergency backup. Then, Alexa takes us through the massive galley provisioning run to stock up for the journey. Plus, we share how we navigate casting our ballots while cruising in international waters!

Are you dreaming of leaving the 9-to-5 behind for a life of ocean crossings, remote anchorages, and the ultimate liveaboard adventure? Welcome to our home! We are Pat and Alexa, and together with our famous "fat boat cat" Gilligan, we live, work, and travel full-time aboard Noeta, our 57-foot Nordhavn expedition trawler.

We don't just show the beautiful sunsets; we show you the grit, things like: 🛠️Trawler Maintenance & DIY Boat Repair 🌊Offshore Passage Making 🛥️Liveaboard Lifestyle 🇲🇽Baja Exploration Whether you are an experienced captain, an aspiring liveaboard cruiser, or someone who just loves marine wildlife and adventure travel, our goal is to inspire you to find your own "Noeta"—your own path to freedom.
