FROM THIS LIFE:

TO THIS LIFE: 

 

Well.... here we are in Puerto Penasco! We arrived Sunday evening 2/28 after a shuttle with Nena's from the Phoenix airport. We had (4) 50lb bags that I was anticipating how to get them up the ladder and through our tiny shrink wrap doorway into the boat. It did happen and somehow I managed to get them emptied out the next day. The boat can swallow up stuff fairly well but on the same token, she is packed with stuff and we have only managed to have a clearing to sleep on the bed. We are dry camping right now so it is a bit of a challenge, especially climbing a 2 story ladder up and down to run to the bathroom ( there are only 2 for the entire boatyard!). Many folks stay in their campers next to the boat and some folks have apartments they retreat to after getting their boat projects done. It is a mix of single-handers, to couples and families with several kids. Some folks are doing big refits and others hoping to do a few projects and splash ( get the boat back into the water) like us. 

Well, I don't have much to report right now. I will keep everyone posted on our journey south through the Sea of Cortez. We do have a bit of a timeline, with plans to meet up with Matt and Amahra from Alaska, in La Paz in the middle of April. They will join us for our 3-week passage to Hawaii.
