Fun in the sun and other stuff

Mike and I have been very busy lately! Well, Mike has been busy working on the boat and I have been busy workingโ€ฆ His sewing is coming along nicely and I think he enjoys it. He even complained that he couldnโ€™t get to his sewing today! Try to ignore the glare in the […]

We made it!

We are now on our boat! ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

We are in the process of unloading the car and getting our stuff put away. Manny and Lola did a terrific job of looking after the boat for us while we were away! It looks great and the humidifier thingy that we left on […]

Still on the road…but almost there!

We are currently in King City, CA which is a little less than 4 hours away from the boat! We will be there tomorrow – yay!

As soon as we got through the Mount Shasta area, the temperature went up and we had to take off our fleeces. It is quite warm and sunny! ๐Ÿ™‚ […]

On the road again…

We are currently in Yreka, CA so we made it over the border!! YAY!! We dealt with a very nice border guard this time so it was a much better experience than the last time we tried to cross into the States. I don’t think I should say what I thought of the first guard […]

We made it to Oxnard!

We are now in Oxnard, CA. We pulled in yesterday evening at around 7 pm. Sorry for not posting earlier, but we were so tired that as soon as pulled into the slip, we went for dinner and then went directly to bed!

We now have night sailing under our belts and also sailing in […]

We made it to Catalina!

After a very long day, we have finally made it Catalina – just pulled in. I wanted to be sure to let everyone know that we made before I go to bed! Which I will be doing directly after eating the sloppy joes that Mike is now making.

It was definitely an exciting day […]

Not off to Catalina today… :(

Due to extremely dense fog, Mike and I are not sailing to Catalina Island today. We did leave at 4 am but had to turn back as the fog rolled in on us. A very frustrating morning I must say. I have never seen fog like that before I hope I don’t see it again […]

Life at Sea

We’ve taken the boat out twice now, once by ourselves and once with an instructor. The once by ourselves was enough to prove that we needed instruction! Docking was the major problem for us, the sailing was fine. Sailing was easy, docking proved to be an issue (at least for me.) Lucky me, I got […]

Alive and Well

Hi all,

I know we haven’t posted anything in a while, but we’ve just been busy sight-seeing around the San Diego area. It is a neat city, but it does have a slight pollution problem. And I know you will expect pictures of our sight-seeing but as usual, we were a little lax in that […]

Now in San Diego, CA

Hi everyone,

We are now in San Diego, Ca, well actually we are in Chula Vista, a suburb of San Diego. The drive from Ventura took about an hour and a half longer than it should have due to the weather and a broken down truck on the 1-5 in downtown LA.

The rain […]
