Whales Ahoy!

On our approach to Monterey Bay, we came across a pod of humpback whales in what appeared to be a feeding frenzy.

Chaos & Tranquility

What’s one of the best parts of the cruising life? The ability to go from one extreme to another just by changing anchorages.

The Morro Mooring

We were interlopers, seeking to join a flock not so that we could join their social order, but so that we could fly their burgee and reap the benefits of affiliation. What was I thinking?

Leaving SoCal

Everything changes now. It’s colder. The water is rougher. The weather can be more severe and change quickly.

Two-Boat Cruisers

Choosing an alternative, a two-boat approach, whereby a ship’s dinghy is configured to serve also as a life boat, should the need arise.

Gypsy Lore

Everyone on board takes a deep breath when we lower the anchor with the windlass, because that’s when things often go bad.

Hopefully Healthy

When one of the girls needs a doctor while cruising in Mexico, the differences in health care systems becomes apparent.
