As you my remember, we’ve had a number of incidents with our dinghy, Makara. First, she went for a little joy ride for a couple of days in Santa Barbara during Fiesta weekend, but was kindly returned to the harbor patrol. Then, only a few days later, one of her oars snapped and we ad […]
We found a hidden gem on Mexico’s Baja Coast! When we set out on our journey down Mexico’s Baja coast, we expected the scenery to include lots of desert, rock, cactus and mountains. That has certainly been the case for most of the coast, however we recently discovered some absolutely incredible mangroves in a place […]
Northern Baja Well we finally made it! We are in Mexico and have been enjoying life the past few weeks here!
