I can’t find the exact quote, but somewhere along the way, on Bumfuzzle #1, I said that one thing I was certain of was that we would never own another boat. Another quote, “There is no certainty; there is only adventure.” Roberto Assagioli Which, I suppose, is how we find … Read More
Adios Mexico
Time to roll on out of Mexico. We’d probably cruise Mexico forever if there were new places to visit and explore, but the Caribbean coast really has very few spots for cruisers. We enjoyed Isla Mujeres, but three months was enough for us, we were all anxious to move on. … Read More
Lonely Isla
Ali had to head to Minnesota for a few days. Which left the three of us completely confused. No mama? No Ali? After the first night Ouest asked, “How many nights has Mama been gone now?” We spent a couple days bouncing around the island a bit. The water on … Read More
Isla Delays
We were getting ready to leave for points further south, but a couple of family issues back in the States have it looking like a few more weeks. Oh well, there are certainly worse things in life. Dinner at least a couple times a week. Melts in your mouth, but … Read More
Everyday Isla
Nothing special going on around here right now—just everyday life. Imagination. Ouest took this pic of the barber shop. The dinghy motor has been giving me issues since the Turks and Caicos last year. First it was the carburetor. I replaced that and that solved one problem. Then we weren’t … Read More
Isla Mujeres Life
A few more days bumming around Isla Mujeres. Clean beaches, clear water, good food, and color everywhere. It’s a great island for getting around. Taxis are fifty pesos to anywhere, or if you are alone it’s just 15 pesos to jump in the taxi with other people. Our typical afternoon … Read More
Around Isla
Isla Mujeres is a small island. There isn’t a ton to do other than swim and eat, so that’s how we spend most of our days. This guy ended up here during the storm a few days earlier. Not sure what the heck he was doing out on the North … Read More
Calm to Crazy
Next stop on the Yucatan tour was Coba. It was fun to hire a bike taxi to zip us around the ruins. With how warm it was it was nice not to be hoofing it through the woods. It was relatively quiet through most of the Coba ruins, but that’s … Read More
Valladolid
We were only in Valladolid for a few hours. We arrived, went for a swim in Cenote Zaci, put on some dry clothes and went for a long walk around town, grabbing dinner and desert before collapsing after a long day well spent. Really enjoyed the color of Valladolid even … Read More
Chichen Itza
After a few weeks on the island it was time to run off on a road trip to show the kids a few of the sites around the Yucatan Peninsula. First, jump on the ferry over to Cancun. From there it’s a bit of a pain to get to a … Read More
