We are ready to sail away to new shores. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Sara has been slowly sauntering right across our desired path. We have had an ongoing drizzle/light rain from Sara’s outer bands. We have played a little gin rummy, done a couple of chores, read some books and made a few quick trips to […]
They arrived! On time and without a delay! On Sunday, Michelle and Jake keep us posted as they made their way to Houston Intercontinental (Thank you Darelle) at 4 am. Then through a dispiriting Spirit flight (because Spirit sucks the spirit out of all travelers). They caught the 1 pm bus from Guatemala City to […]
Our friend Bryan dropped by the boat earlier this week. He works on boats around town but also just finished his culinary training. He asked us if we liked ceviche. He got a loud and clear “Si” to that question. He offered to come back later in the week and make some for us. We […]
We are back aboard SV Nyango after a busy spring and summer remodeling Basecamp Nyango. We now officially have an awesome little home in Sweetwater, OK. I still can’t believe it turned out so well. Last March, we left the sailboat in Cayo Quemado at Crow’s Nest Marina to come back to Sweetwater and get […]
Sunday was Randall’s 47th Birthday. We don’t have much of a birthday tradition so it was perfect luck that Wendy, Ernest and Hope were in Key West with a few hours away from their Disney cruise. We had a super time starting with lunch at Sloppy Joes. Beer, Sloppy joes and dirty fries – are […]
We left Isla Tuesday evening. This required a visit with Inga. We may now always refer to her as Isla’s Inga. Anyone who ever stayed at El Milagro must leave with fond memories of Inga. Or, at least, strong memories. In anticipation of our departure, Randall says to me, “We need to find out from […]
Well Michelle has been keeping us up past our bedtime. There is a quite varied and interesting world which emerges after dark that we tend to know little about so it is good to have her along for these after-dark forays. However, before the nightlife, we had a full schedule of Isla touring. Lily was […]
We have had a nice, lazy week waiting around for the weekend. We met several new friends at Taco Tuesday night. While we were there, Lily talked with Reba of Tropical Fun about her sea glass jewelry. Reba sells her jewelry at some of the local events. We were excited to see her table later […]
By Lily Fuchs What I am doing today is I will interview Eric. Eric is the owner of El Milagro Beach Hotel & Marina. El Milagro was a shrimp factory before Eric bought it. He had to redesign the whole property. Eric is also a Realtor who lives and works in Santa Barbara, CA. He […]
El Milagro Marina also has a few rooms for rent and Lily played all day long with her new friend Christina. Her family had plans to walk down to the plaza for the Dia de los Muertos and we tagged along with them. Linda, Cantrell, Victor and Christina are from Tennessee and have vacationed on […]
