Sailing life: We almost hit a whale
On our last sail north, we almost hit a whale. It surfaced 10 feet on off of our port side. It was close enough that we got wet from his spray. We were also curious how far our VHF radio would transmit. We checked in with a friend every 5 miles to test out the range. Had a beautiful night sail l...
Boat life: What an amazing adventure it has been
Sailing around the world in a small sailboat has its challenges. The treasures that we find along the way, make it all worth it. The sea lions swimming beside us, the dolphins bow riding and surfing around Hiraya are amazing moments. Let's not forget the sunsets at sea or at anchor! Those are...
Sailing Life: Stern Anchored Sailing and Dinghy Chaps
Jesica is really tired of burning her butt cheeks and sticking to the dinghy in the intense heat of the Sea of Cortez. So, while stern anchored in our favorite secluded anchorage, we decided to finally do something about the burnt butt cheek problem. We sew up some dinghy chaps. It was a lot of wo...
Sailing life: Living our lives on anchor
The best part of living on a sailboat if life at anchor. The days just seem to fade on by and you lose all track of time. We spend our days exploring caves on our Highfield dinghy.

Sailing Life: Stern anchored are we to close to land?
The rocks are way to close. We had no choice except to deploy our stern anchor to limit our swing radius. We usually don't anchor in this tight of a spot, but we just could not resist the beauty and seclusion of this tiny anchorage. After setting our stern anchor we set off on the dinghy to d...

Sailing life: Sailing off our anchor. How did we do?
We have been forced to learn how to sail onto and off of our anchor. Our engine broke last summer and we decided to continue sailing on anyways. It was a blessing in disguise.

Sailing life: We sail into uncharted territory
We spent a few days motoring around in the uncharted areas of Bahia Concepcion. We motored down to the far southeast corner of the bay into uncharted territory. The charts called for 3 feet of water depth , our depth sounder was reading 80! It is always fun exploring places that few people go t...
Sailing life: Boat chores and hot springs
We sail down into Bahia conception, where we find a beautiful calm anchorage for some must needed rest.

The Sailing life: Work Hard Play Hard
Sailing is a great way to get out on the water and enjoy the fresh air. But its not all fun and games. Anchors don't hold and boats drag through the anchorage. Hulls need scrubbed and stainless needs polished. There is a lot of work involved in keeping a boat clean and running smoothly. In...

Upwind sailing in 28 knots and finally some clear water!
We bash north sailing upwind in 28 knots. The sea state becomes uncomfortable as we remember why "gentleman don't sail to weather." Most cruisers heed that advice, and we quickly remember why! Sailing upwind in a strong breeze while also fighting a current may not have been the brig...
Boat life: Sometimes we sail, sometimes we motor.
Cruising fulltime on a sailboat can be interesting. You find yourself anchored in paradise, but the wind forces you to move. Raising anchor, sailing out of anchorages just to have the wind die. Drifting and motoring for a while, then the wind starts picking up, and the swell starts to build, and y...
Enjoying the Beach: Boat Life
Boat life is the perfect way to enjoy the beach. We anchor in a secluded spot, paddle board on the crystal clear water, do a little beach combing and relax on the sand.

Sailing upwind and heaving to: Boat life
We enjoy a long sporty sail upwind. The seas were rough and the winds were only 10-15 knots. It made for a very long day tacking into the wind. Half way to our anchorage we were hot by a bigger wave and almost lost our paddle boards. We quickly hove to to asses the damage and stow the boards. Wh...
