Alone at Anchor

A journey is best measured in friends,

Rather than miles.

Usually when I say ‘alone at anchor’ it means that we are the only boat in an anchorage.  This time, far from it!  As I write, there are nearly 70 boats bobbing around me in Banderas Bay near La Cruz.  I am ‘alone at anchor’ because Mike is up in Arizona picking up what we hope is our fixed radar after three long months of haggling and waiting…

Many boaters from captains of mega-yachts to sailors of tiny day sailboats or paddle boarders comment, as you’ve heard me say before, on our boat: its classic lines, its unusual color scheme, its woodwork and its excellent condition.  In doing so, many also ask to visit Déjàlà to check out if the inside matches the outside.  From these numerous visits, we’ve been surprised by nearly unanimous comments about the top five-six interesting things we have built or put together to help us work and live better aboard.

We finally made the jump, sold our dinghy, and now rely solely on our kayaks to go to/from boat/land.  We used our kayaks for 4 months on a trial basis before taking the plunge.
