    PNW to Mexico, Panama Canal, and Florida, on our way at last!

    Tomorrow we leave the San Blas islands and start our journey towards Florida. We are still on the fence on whether or not we want to go straight through or make a short stop in the Caymans. Eight days most likely if we don't take that stop.. but other than the first day and a half the weather...

    I'm glad you found a work around for you. Fortunately this boat has a huge galley so I can still cook when the mood strikes, that helps. Honestly it's only when we get pinned in by weather for extended periods that I go a little crazy. Don't think I'd be getting so anxious except for the...

    Well I can't believe I am saying this, but I'm ready to move on. Not really because I'm ready to leave here, because I am kinda of enjoying the forced relaxation, but because I want to get to Florida and see what the hell we bought and clean out the place in KY and get it sold. Closure. Just...

    I know I'd never been able to make him stay here that long. But will definitely have the ingredients on hand in Florida so hoping to see you there. Want to hear all about your and Cheryll's adventures since we've parted ways. And pick your brain about concrete countertops in case we decide to...

    San Blas islands are amazing. Scot is getting a little stir crazy, but I could stay here forever...

    I still can't believe we are in Panama and we have made it through the canal. I'm so excited about going to the San Blas islands. They have been my number one place to visit on the trip and I hope I can talk Scot into staying for awhile. So looking forward to getting out of the marina and...

    Loss of SV Rum Truffle, Bahia del Sol bar, El Salvador

    I was shocked listening to the Panama Posse call this morning of Long Windid's account on how cavalier the pilot response was to his getting stuck was and that after how badly he got stuck, that weren't concerned that Mark's boat that had a bigger draft would have been a bigger risk. I just...

    Okay, I'm starting to feeling a little less like a zombie. We all checked into the Panama, except cruising permit that we have to get in Panama City or elsewhere. We could do everything here. Vista Mar assisted us with the port captain for $45 in getting the paperwork done, so saved us the bus...

    My heart is just sick about the loss of Rum Truffle at Bahia Del Sol and I hadn't even met Mark. Having crossed that bar I totally understand how crazy the crossing was. There are lots of stories coming out now about more sailboats getting stuck coming across the bar, I guess it was just was a...

    Bahia Del Sol has been really relaxing... well everything except the bar. The bar coming in... not the bar at the restaurant. Which we never use, because I make better pina coladas anyway. We have really enjoyed the time here. Enjoyed pupusas both in the little village near here with the...

    The seas were in our favor for the trip to Bahia Del Sol. The military arrived early at the dock to search us. I guess they are at the end of their budget for fuel in their vehicle so the 10:30 request for search, became a 9 for us and we were searched and off the dock by 9:30. It put us...

    Well, I guess I should update this before we actually leave Mexico. We left our anchorage in Bahia Melaque on the 2 of Feb. Leaving behind Weebles and a piece of our heart with our buddy boaters Peter and Cheryll as we needed to speed things up a bit. We originally had planned on going...

    Weebles - Day in Cruising Life

    Cool Peter. Let me know if you have any questions with instagram. I've been doing for awhile. I'm not perfect at it, but might be able to muddle through with you.. .

    La Cruz spent the first night at anchor. Then went into the marina for five days because we were still having fridge problems. Plus our 18 year old cat was not doing well. Tracked down a repair guy thanks to Peter on Weebles. The repair didn't seem to do much good, so we ended up buying a...

    Weebles - Day in Cruising Life

    Yeah that's what he's doing. I think he wants that huge tuna that he has to share with everyone. Is that like the fisherman's dream or something?

    Weebles - Day in Cruising Life

    You are such a fisherman... telling those stretching the truth... Let's clarify I don't see the point in putting lines out when we have two freezers full of fish we need to eat. Has that stopped you at any point? No... so don't be telling tales on a forum that I monitor. That being said...

    Awesome.. Thanks Peter! Figured I'd let you tell your tale of woe and triumph on Isabela.
