All good things have to come to an end... and this time we said a sad goodbye to the sea that has been our home for the past 18 months. We anchored out in a gorgeous bay on Isla Espiritu Santo, and soaked in the clear blue water and majestic desert backdro...

Wow, what an action-packed episode we have for you! We arrived in the wonderful, tropical Maztalán after a challenging 200 mile passage, but the weather didn’t quite give us the welcome we were expecting. Once the sun showed its face, we went ashore to...

We complete our delightful passage to Chacala with the spinnaker pulling us gently through calm seas. Despite a couple of mixups with the Captain's food orders, the sail was one of our best. Arrival in the bay, however proved to be more of a challenge, as ...

The Captain didn't waste any time deploying the First Mate, mask and snorkel in hand, to check how the stern anchor landed, just in case it hit the nearby rocks. Unfortunately (for the Capt), the 'unreasonable' demand snowballed into a revolution among the...

It was all going so well, until it wasn't... we departed from our pitstop anchorage in Banderas Bay late morning and had a perfect spinnaker run out of the Bay and south on an overnighter. When we reached the infamous Cabo Corrientes, the winds and especia...

In this episode we sailed north from the beautiful, protected lagoon of Barra de Navidad, straight onto rough, confused seas as we tried to head north. Surprise, surprise, galley service was cancelled and First Mate forgot to prepare any food again! Ha ha....

After a super early 2am start, we complete our journey north arriving in the scenic Punta de Mita, Banderas Bay, Mexico! The water was clear and the the sand golden, making us wonder whether we hadn't just sailed a few thousand miles in the wrong direction...

We sailed off the hook in Punta de Mita, Banderas Bay smoothly, only to get rudely overtaken by a fully-laden Hobie Cat... how embarrassing! But little did the Captain know, things were about the to take a turn for the worst as the First Mate was plotting ...
