Broken diesel engine. Forced to hip tie the dinghy to push us into the travel lift.
After a painfully slow crossing of the Sea of Cortez, we made it to Guaymas! We pushed with the dinghy way more then we wanted to. We were pretty nervous using the dinghy to push us into the travel lift. It ended up going well and being no big deal. It seems the mental anxiety is usually worse ...

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...

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...
