Just a Minute: It's Nice to Have Friends!

Hello!

Welcome to our mid-life crisis! These are the chronicles of Laura and Patrick, their young son Jack, and their goofball Labrador Retriever named Evinrude (Rudy), as they travelled the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific coast of mainland Mexico in their catamaran. We went cruising in search of a change of pace, a closer knit family, and peace of mind. We found all three and more. The fun all started in October, 2008 and nearly four years later the Mexican adventure came to an end August 3rd, 2012. With our mid-life crisis cured in Mexico, we are excited to start a new adventure - life back in America.

It's Nice to Have Friends!

Wow, we have had so many offers of help from friends all over the place. Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone. We are really touched by the offers of help that have come to us from friends in California, Mazatlan, La Paz, and even New Zealand.

We are sure it will be an easy fix, whenever Patrick gets around to it. In the meantime we have Jack set up in the engine compartment with ear plugs. Patrick has always wanted to say things like "Full Ahead, Make it so!" Who needs a helm control when you have an engine jockey?

Our First Race, LA Bay 09/2010

A group of five family cruising boats decided to have a race back to the village from La Gringa. Learning to sail our boat has been a long process. Being highly optimistic people we were sure we could figure it out and we were right. Having 20+ years of previous salt water (power) boating experience had taught us all the things we needed to know to stay alive on the water, it was just the intricacies of the sail we needed to learn. To those out there dreaming - don't sweat the small stuff.
