📍 Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur 🌊 Sea of Cortez, Mexico

Isla Partida (Middriff Islands), Baja California, Mexico
We left Isla Animas with a simple plan… sail to Bahía de los Ángeles and finally restock.

After a lightning-filled change of plans, we sailed 40 miles north and dropped anchor in Las Cocinas, a quiet and remote anchorage in the Sea of Cortez.
With no cell service, no town, and no amenities, life slowed down quickly. We settled into our off-grid routine and celebrated Armand’s birthday wi...
Join us as we sail from San Carlos to La Paz across the Sea of Cortez! Light winds, beautiful sunsets, slow miles, and plenty of time to soak in life at sea made this passage unforgettable. We resupply in La Paz and get the boat ready for the next big adventure.

A little slower pace this week but it is our first weekly release since coming back from our break. Our September trip turned out successful in a way we didn't expect. Since boat parts hadn't arrived in the mail before our flight we came empty handed. This allowed us to take the time to cl...
After months away, we finally sailed back to our second home — Banderas Bay — where all the magic happened last season. From cold beers and dancing at our friends’ newly renamed bar #LustyOnLand, to experiencing Puerto Vallarta’s Rhythms of the Night for @BreakingWavesSailing Ben's birthday --...

Bahia Ballandra on Isla Carmen was the perfect place to host Chris's 26th birthday! I found myself as the only girl with her 4 "Lost Boys" soaking up all the hilarious memories being made while sailing the Sea of Cortez. The good times have no end in sight!

Baja Mexico is an incredible place to sail, but like sailing ground around the world, there are challenges unique to the area. In this episode, we deal with some of those challenges as we try to make it to a favorite anchorage of ours to the north of Loreto. After some "EXTREME LIGHT WIND SAILI...
Much longer than planned we are finally able to return to Rediviva. She's been waiting in Mexico while we had to help family. We still need to sort out how to get back to cruising full time but it was extremely relieving to be aboard, even if only for a week. This episode covers the emotions of...
Join us on our sail from Puerto Refugio to Santa Rosalia, where things got a tad sporty on the water! Luckily, Avocet handed it like a champ as we sailed wing on wing and surfed down waves in front of @KesselUnderway

Lots of lessons learned in this episode as we set sail from Ensenada, Mexico, aiming for a 290-mile passage to Bahia Tortugas when everything goes sideways fast.
