Nordhavn Crew Takes a Mexican Roadtrip...What's a Drive N Poke!?
Do cruisers have cars? Join Alexa and Pat, the Nordhavn crew of MV Noeta, as they trade the seas for the streets and embark on an epic Mexican road trip to reunite with their beloved boat in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle! Experience the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Mexico through their land-based adventure, offering a unique perspective for boaters, cruisers, and anyone dreaming of the liveaboard lifestyle. Discover the journey beyond the waves and the anticipation of returning to their Nordhavn home.
Join the @mvnoeta boat crew as we embark on a Mexican road trip to reunite our car with our boat. In this journey we check out a marina, get bombarded by 11 year old window washers, see some beautiful scenery and visit a....drive 'n' poke? (do you even want to know?!)
This week's journey is not on a boat, but there are some gratuitous shots of boats and of course, Gilligan the Fat Boat Cat.
Check it out!

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've lived aboard for 9 years, most of that in Mexico, both Pacific coast and the Sea of Cortez. Our channel is a deep dive into the "unfiltered" reality of long-range cruising and trawler life. 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. We upload new episodes every week documenting our journey.⚓ Subscribe Today!
