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.

Hanging on the Beach

Our boat projects continue on, often interrupted by lots of diversions. All of the stainless on the boat has been polished and waxed (me), upgraded engine alternators installed (Patrick and Juniata's Dave), plastic windows polished and waxed inside and out (me), WA state required testing for homeschooling completed (Jack), and provisioning (Patrick and me). Of course there has also been lots of boogie boarding (Jack), relaxing in the hot tub (me), laying on the beach (Pam), playing with Rudy on the beach (Patrick), and socializing with friends and family (everyone).

Our To Do List is much smaller but still includes installing a transducer for a secondary sonar unit, more provisioning, moving Pam into her new home, and washing the rigging. We have stayed longer than anticipated, but are trying to keep moving forward. We have accomplished so much already, but the pull to start moving is getting strong.
