Tying the knot

Brian and AmberToday, our very good friend Amber Clark is getting married a stone’s throw away from where she grew up - in McElmo Canyon, Colorado.
You may now kiss the bride...She’s marrying Brian Kelly, a very fortunate man, and a terrific guy in his own right.

To Amber and Brian:

we wish we could be there with you to celebrate your big day! Our thoughts and hearts are definitely there with you. We love you both, and wish you all of the happiness in the world. We, along with Burke, Kacey and Quinn, hope to see you down in this part of the world soon. Bring your formal night outfits!

While Amber and Brian are busy tying the knot, we will be tying some knots of our own. This afternoon, Doug is going to come and show us how to rig the sails on Rumiko. But first we are going to motor our little boat from our anchor spot near the Bercovich boat yard over to Marina De La Paz. We’ve rented a slip there for a week, to make it easier to move our belongings from our apartment onto the boat. Lisa also has to paint Rumiko’s name onto the nameboards that are located on the back of the boat. It will be much easier to do that in the calm marina waters than bobbing behind the boat while it’s anchored out.

Wow. What a trip. Before Kyle was born, Annie and I drove to Guymas on the mainland and then took the ferry to Santa Rosalia. We the drove from there to Loreto and La Paz. Brings back fond memories. I gonna have a hard time concentrating on my work over the next couple of days. I will be day dreaming of what your trip must have been like. Safe travels.

A stop along the way, and a good excuse to blog

By
We've had to make an unanticipated stop on our circuitous route to Guaymas. We are in Santa Rosalia to fill up our propane tank. Typically our tank lasts us for several months, so we didn't even think to refill it in La Paz. But of course, with five guests aboard over a period of six weeks we used a lot more propane than normal. So here we are. And while we're here, we're grabbing this opportunity to do another blog posting to update folks on our travels. In this posting you can read about: OUR VISIT WITH DICK RANDOLPH ISLA CATALINA and OTHER STOPS ALONG THE WAY OUR ROUTE NORTH NOTE: Don't forget to check out our Fotki site for better quality photos and to view additional photos. OUR VISIT WITH DICK As mentioned in our previous blog posting, we had a great time with Dan's dad, Dick Randolph. Dick sailed with us for 11 days, and Dan's cousin Bill on Barnacle buddy-boated with us the entire time. Dick seemed as comfortable on the boat as he does on la...

Rumiko sleeps four adults comfortably (sort of)

By
It's official. . . lil' Rumiko has room enough for four adults to sit, eat, do "their business" and, perhaps most importantly, sleep fairly comfortably. During the past month we've had two sets of guests -Alan&Laura and Anthony&Julia. In both cases, we let them sleep in our "big" bed (55" at the head, 42" at the feet), while we tried a couple of different sleeping arrangements. We finally realized that we could in fact both fit in the port-side salon berth (which measures 30" at the head and 23" at the feet) and be relatively comfortable. It was more comfortable after we added a lee cloth (which is a cloth that stops you from falling out of bed). We acknowledge, however, that sleeping two people in the small berth worked only because the nights were cool. As much as we like snuggling, in the heat of the summer there is no way that we would be able to endure the closeness imposed by such close quarters. At least no...

Last trip of the season

By
A very short posting, because we're itching to "get outta Dodge." Today we embark on our final voyage of 2010. We have five more weeks of sailing in the Sea before we haul Rumiko out of the water in Guaymas. We had a great visit with Dick, Dan's dad, working our way from La Paz to Puerto Escondido. Dick, who is 83, continues to amaze us with his agility and adventurous spirit. He swam with the sea lions at Los Islotes, and almost every day either went for a hike or snorkel. It was great buddy-boating with Dan's cousin Bill from Barnacle , because Dick and Bill had a great time entertaining each other and us with their stories. Due to utter exhaustion and a list of chores we did not get it together to post photos and do a more extensive blog about our time with Dick. We'll do that next time. We'll be in touch again in five weeks. . .
