Mazatlán – Reaching Mainland Mexico with Flying Devil’s Rays

Our Nature lies in movement;

Complete calm is death.

Blaise Pascal 

So cool, calm, and collected

Spending my first night watch after a month at dock, I am reminded of the night’s beauty, stars (shooting, or sparkling kinds), wedding veils of phosphorescent luminescence, accompanied only by the sound of Déjàlà in the water, the slight familiar hum of the running equipment (sails, radar, etc), the odd whale or dolphin swimming nearby, and my random thoughts.

Leaving Puerto Los Cabos or When Espresso and Electrical Boats Don’t Mix

Society is like a stew.  If you don't stir it up once in a while

It seems much easier not to be as distracted and thus able to take time to write while at sea especially during easy sails (one tack all the way here) so I am at last taking the time to update the blog…

Life in the ‘Sailing’ Lane (Going with the flow or is that too corny!)

The caterpillar does all the work,

But the butterfly gets all the publicity.

Read something interesting in a book the other day: No two people experience the exact same rainbow since we all see it from a slightly different angle no matter how close we are to one another when looking at it. Sailing allows you the time to see the rainbows, smell the rain, and have the time to experience your environment more closely and thoroughly.

We are entering our fourth week in San Jose del Cabo. It has been a very enjoyable stay but we are starting to itch for new sites and experiences, especially now that most of the small jobs and fixes needed after the shakedown sail down the Baja coast have been completed.

Happy New Year, Próspero Nuevo Año, Bonne et Heureuse Année 2012

The sea isn't a place but a fact, and a mystery.

I wanted to start this New Year by saying I wished I were a real writer to make things more interesting for you to read but these are just my meandering thoughts or descriptions of events, places, encounters, etc
