June 27, 2015. So, we all went to the beach. Just like Teak did so many years ago, Topaz ran along the shallow water chasing fish. We walked about a mile to the sand dunes at Punta Delgada, the reward was beautiful, white, warm, soft sand dunes. Topaz and the kids ran up and down the dunes, sliding, rolling and jumping in the sand. I’m too old for anything more than crawling to the top, watching and taking pictures. Instead the Sardine Co-op offered to fill our jugs for cash. The challenge was to move ou...

Loreto II →. Loreto, Baja California. May 22, 2015. I love the Jacques Cousteau quote on our Evolve Freediving t-shirts, “The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in it’s net of wonder forever”. We’re all hooked forever. The thought of ending our time living and cruising on Makai has Marie making extreme decisions. She said that when we arrive in Loreto, she’s going to catch the next flight to the Bahamas. A spearfishing/snorkel trip can be about 2 hours long. The chilly water has been leaving us ...

Last passage to U.S.A. | SailMakai

Where should I start? Last passage to U.S.A. July 9, 2015. 8220;The Baja Bash” is what everyone calls this trip north, but it is anything but that this week. Other than a few afternoons, the trip has been calm with flat seas and light winds. This seal is laying on the surface warming his fins. One over night passage north from Magdelana Bay is Bahia San Juanico, surfers know it as Scorpion Bay. We look pretty far away from the bluff at the campground, but you can see the waves rolling in. I guess we̵...

October 1, 2015. My first ever sighting of a Lobster in California. Roy spotted this little guy right here in Emerald Bay. This area is a refuge, I wish we had seen more of them. The kelp is beautiful swaying its golden leaves with the surge. Kelp is found in cold coastal water. The closer to the poles the more it thrives. So, to see us snorkeling in kelp means we are COLD. The water is as clear and colorful as the Bahamas. It is so nice to hunt in water clear enough to see down 15 or more feet. We h...

Newer posts →. July 8, 2015. How yeast works is the section missing from many cruiser’s cookbooks. I found my new friends’ boat galley cookbook didn’t tell them how long to let the dough rise. They were rising for less than half the normal amount of time and coming out with flat, dense loaves. So, here are a few tips for yeast dough. Will I make bread at home? June 27, 2015. We were surprised to see the number of huge blue crabs, long dead and dried out on the beach. Roy got his crabbing gear out but...

Loreto, Baja California. Heading up to Santa Rosalia →. June 7, 2015. They met a rancher who took them out to hunt big horn sheep. In the end they had a great trail ride and camp out even though they never saw any sheep. Cow, goats and even horses can be found wandering free in this harsh land. The trails took them over pools of water. The terrain is tough, but a little soil and a little water in enough for this beautiful palm to sprout out of a rock. The day was hot, but the views were worth it. Our din...
