Hello!

Welcome to our mid-life crisis! These are the chronicles of Laura and Patrick, their 14 year old 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.

Our Home

Our Home
Still can't get used to so much space. Pictured is about the square footage we lived in on the boat. Not pictured is the dining room, formal living room, open great room with kitchen/eating nook/den (partly pictured above). library/office, master suite with walk-in closets and five piece master bathroom, 2 other bedrooms, 2 other bathrooms, fenced back yard, deck with hot tub, vaulted ceilings with skylights, and two car garage. It's lovely, but I feel like an imposter. It's way too big, but there wasn't a lot to choose from, so this is what we got. When we finally buy a home, it will be much smaller.

The Road Trip So Far

Loaded and ready to go from our casita in La Paz.  Even though we were lucky enough to ship hundreds of pounds of stuff home with 3rd Day, we were still a little over loaded.

Just before the start.

Our first night was spent in Santa Rosalia at this lovely hotel.  Here is a our balcony view that looks out over the harbor and towards Isla San Marcos.  It was a lovely clean room with saltillo tiles and some of the healthiest cockroaches I've ever seen! 

This is Rudy's fifth road trip from the Baja to the  States (or back) and he is a pro at it by now.

Guerro Negro flats outside of town., heading out to the dunes and Scammon's Lagoon that is famous for the grey whales birthing place.

We felt it was safe for Jack to get some more driving practice in since it was flat enough, had no obstructions and no traffic for miles.
