When the dinghy gets impounded, a new friend is there to help.
Everyone on board takes a deep breath when we lower the anchor with the windlass, because that’s when things often go bad.
When one of the girls needs a doctor while cruising in Mexico, the differences in health care systems becomes apparent.
I’ve lost the first round in my quest to install LED lights, but I am not finished.
We’re back in the U.S. and we’re spending money like drunken sailors…well, we’ve spent very little on booze and none in brothels, but we’re spending lots. Neither of us enjoys it.
You often hear folks claim that the trip from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas is so easy that anyone can make it on a 55-gallon drum. Of course, this means it is an inherently difficult passage when heading the other direction.
There is no reason we must leave. We just want to go someplace else, see something else. I guess this is wanderlust.
How will the cruising lifestyle shape the world view of voyaging kids?
The distinction between the minimalist cruiser and the rest of us is how they determine what gear or system earns a place aboard.
In early 2006, after our second daughter, Frances, was born, I had the mother of all epiphanies: we should quit our jobs, sell everything, buy a boat, and sail around the world.
Cruising without hull insurance?
