Tying the knot

By

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.

Progress - in a slow sort of way

By
It’s April – several weeks since our last posting – so we thought it was high time we wrote something. For starters, we’re several shades darker than when last we wrote (although some of the “tan” disappears at the end of the day, down the shower drain). And we keep noticing muscles that were not part of our Reno bodies. It’s good to remember that our arms can serve a purpose other than acting as a conduit for messages from our brains to our computer keyboards. Most evenings our rediscovered muscles ache from the day’s activities. Part of the strain has definitely come from contorting ourselves to fit into tiny spaces in order to clean them, sand them or replace hoses, etc. We just realized we have not taken any photos of ourselves in these awkward positions. It’s probably for the best. It wasn’t pretty. The majority of our arm pain, however, comes from repetitive motions like sanding and scrubbing, and removing and tightening screws. But it’s all very much worth the pain. We’re seeing...

Tastes and Sounds of Zihuatanejo

By
We've been in the Zihuatanejo area for the past three weeks, and have enjoyed the heck out of this place. It's been a great social time, and we've had tons of fun with our great friends from Isis . We've also made a nice connection with the folks from the vessel Blue Bottle - Adrienne is a lovely, deeply soulful woman, and Joe has connected with Lisa playing music, and with Dan because they are both photography nuts. We hope to meet up with them again at some point in our journeys. Click here to check out our first batch of photos from Zihuat. As we've mentioned in past blogs, Zihuat has great food options, and we've explored as many of them as possible on our small budget. Indoor Market The central market, which is in a large downtown building, houses fruit and vegetable stands, butcher shops, fresh seafood vendors, eateries, juice bars and other shops. It is a true multi-sensory experience. Our eyes have feasted on the colorful fruits and vegetables; ou...

First time at sea

By
A week ago, Lisa and Dan joined Burke, Kacey and Quinn for the maiden voyage of Isis . We set out on a four-day trip, and ended up staying out five days. We would have been away longer, but we ran out of beer, ice and cocktail mixers (oh, and food, too). And there was the gentle-but-persistent feeling that there was some reason that Lisa and Dan had to get back to La Paz... namely, Rumiko , waiting for her thorough scrub-down and engine installation. Thursday, March 5th was sunny and gorgeous as we headed out of La Paz. We motored out of the main channel, where we passed by the Bercovich boat yard and Rumiko . The oil tanker anchored upwind from the yard provided a great photo-op. Once out of the main channel we headed north for Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida. While Burke and Kacey tested out various equipment on Isis , (the sails, diesel engine, GPS, etc.), Dan and Lisa soaked in both the sun and a lot of new information. Just before dusk we pulled into our anchorage at Caleta...
