I hate to jinx it, especially since I’ve no way to check a forecast from here, but the weather has been incredible this past week. Since getting away from the Coromuel around La Paz I don’t think we’ve seen wind blow past five knots. The anchorages have been like mill … Read More
Nine Months Lowe, Twenty-Nine Months Ouest
Another month in the books. What to say, what to say. Ouest, you are saying it all now. Driving us batty with your never ending supply of energy and the why’s and the now’s. You don’t like to spend much time playing on your own which is okay I guess … Read More

We should be gone tomorrow, but things never work out that way. There is still plenty to do, including buying food and diesel. Without those we aren’t going anywhere. Anyway, what does one more day matter? We’ve been looking through the guide book a little bit and it seems to … Read More
Mmm Taco Bell
Friends of ours discovered the other day that there is an agent in town that can renew a tourist visa for another six months for just a hundred pesos. Brilliant. Problem solved. We may never have to return to the States. Or at least until my cravings for a Grilled … Read More
