We had boat guests on Friday. It was great fun to catch up with our Kiwi friend Peter Nielsen and meet his girlfriend, Jo. We had tacos and Cuba Libres in our cockpit and caught up on news about mutual sailing friends. We met Peter (above) at Roatan last year. The Roatan happy hour was […]
We made it home on Saturday via Uber, airplane, taxi, ferry and feet. Kind of a long day and we were grateful to have not missed the last few ferry time slots to Isla. Our Valentine’s dinner was a perfect way to end our trip last Friday. We had been on the lookout in Queretaro […]
Jan and I have been to Mexico once before. Thanks to our niece, Jada, getting married there, we visited Playa del Carmen about 20 years ago. Our first day there, Jan, our Dad and I decided to ride a banana float pulled by a jet ski. This ended with Jan getting a broken nose when […]
by Michelle George After 8 glorious weeks aboard NYANGO the time came for me to leave. It wasn’t what I wanted but I’d already worn out my welcome, by weeks!!! I have a 97 year old Mother who had been chomping at the bit for me to return and Randall needed his space!!! Being in […]
We left Roatan Sunday. We had told everyone we were leaving around mid-morning and I’m sure our fellow cruisers were keeping an eye out to help with dock lines and to shout last good byes. Then, instead of leaving, Randall and Jake went on a last grocery run and Michelle and I went to the […]
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 […]
I know we gripe about boat haul-outs! It is hard to describe how inconvenient it is to have your home lifted up onto jackstands in the middle of a dirty shipyard. Many sailors don’t try to stay aboard during a haul out. Instead, they opt for a nice little palapa on the river. We talked […]
I have been going on a short run/walk every morning and loving it. The marina property stretches up from the water to include a little inland pond and surrounding hill. There is a nice rock and concrete path that starts in the mangroves, circles through a lime tree orchard and up a steep hill that […]
You never know what you will find at the twice monthly Boaters Flea Market. There is an ever-changing assortment of products. We headed to Nana Juana this morning to see what treasures we could find on sale. The flea market switches to different marinas. If we didn’t find anything to buy, Nana Juana is also […]
We went for a Sunday stroll yesterday. It is hard to describe the chaos of walking through town here. For starters, the traffic zips by your side with alarming closeness. Especially the semi’s wheels, whose tires roll by so close to your toes kinda cringe at the thought of getting rolled over. Take note also […]
