Gale Force Winds
The port here is closed and the temperature dropped to 45 degrees this morning. Supposed to be 37 tonight. Guess we need to move further south! We are in a very safe marina since we are a ways inland from the ocean. The marina just at the…
What a difference a day makes…

Mazatlan, the Town
We spent the last 2 days exploring Mazatlan. Yesterday was spent on the waterfront and the Mercado looking at stuff and a little shopping since we found a place that I could sit on a couch and they had free beer.

Mazatlan Trip
We left Costabaja at 0630 Sunday morning and were really impressed that the Nordhavn folks were up to see us off (Thanks, George, Jay, and Lisa). In addition, as we were pulling out we received a VHF radio call from our friends on Sunnysid…
A Visit Back to Maria Elena – Nordhavn N40
Guest post by John & Maria Torelli Despite still having the keys and occasionally checking on Maria Elena (our 2007 Nordhavn 40 which we recently sold to great couple who live in Miami) I had finally detached myself from the boat that was our home for three years. While I still find a sense of […]
