Just a Minute: Moving North

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.

Moving North

We spent Easter weekend anchored back in the lagoon of Barra de Navidad, but are moving north again today. Though we greatly enjoy the French Baker's culinary offerings and the beauty of Barra, we have decided today is the day to start moving again. Actually the decision was made for us when we ran out of water this morning while doing the dishes. The color of the water in the lagoon precludes us simply turning on the water maker. The filter wouldn't last long before it got clogged judging by the color of the water! Barra is a lovely town and we will miss it. Internet access will be non-exsistent from now until we reach Puerto Vallarta around April 15th, so no posts for the next week or two.

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.
