SV Sine Timore: January 2015

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 29, 2015. The bus from Mendoza to Santiago took us through some spectacular scenery, quite a change from the relatively mundane prairie-like Pampas of Argentina. This route crosses the Andies very close to the location of the highest point in the Americas,. The city of Santiago has not changed much since we were here two months ago, except that it is now the peak of summer and the busy streets and restaurants are now super busy. The crowds in the nearby. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Somet...

SV Sine Timore: January 2014

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 31, 2014. Estero Jaltepeque, El Salvador. Since we are semi-permanently stuck here in El Salvador, and nothing was about to happen re visas during the weekend, there was only one thing we could do. San Miguel (Chaparrastique) volcano. This is the one that covered our boat in ash a few weeks ago. In the evening, we were treated to an impressive vertical rainbow, with the pot of gold firmly entrenched in Honduras. At the town of Perquin we visited the. Museo de la Revolucion Salvadorena.

SV Sine Timore: Nautical disaster

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2015/05/nautical-disaster.html

Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Paradise Fishing Lodge, El Salvador. That was really ugly! Probably the worst lack of judgement that I have had in recent memory. This is what happens when Susanne is not around to keep me from making idiot decisions. Once I was back onboard Sine Timore, I was able to better assess the damage. A few nasty scrapes in the wooden rub-rail (I guess that's what it's for) and a sadly bent stainless steel rail. A bit of a ding in the gallows support as well. Why are we here? After years...

SV Sine Timore: February 2015

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 28, 2015. B2G - Day 2. Last evening, a red-footed booby (bird) landed on our starboard spreader and spent the night crapping on our solar panels - it was a real mess this morning! This morning, when he relocated to our pulpit, I was able to go up and push him off and he reluctantly flew off somewhere else for now. Distance made good so far is 168 nautical miles. A long way yet to go. GMST}01 53.8 N 081 29 W B2G - Day 2 B2G - Day 2{GEND}. Friday, February 27, 2015. We have made use of t...

SV Sine Timore: February 2014

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 28, 2014. Bahia Huevos, Costa Rica. These last 3 days have been pretty exciting, making some real progress for a change. As soon as we left the estuary, some 12 knot winds came up from the west. We were able to sail quite nicely for a few miles until the seas became very rough and the winds climbed into the 15 to 20 knot range. We ended up very close-hauled and motorsailing into the waves. Susanne, predictably, succumbed to the bad conditions and was quite sick. Note: We saw quite a lot ...

SV Sine Timore: Life is complicated

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2015/05/life-is-complicated.html

Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Bahia del Sol, El Salvador. On the last day in April, I joined our friend Wally on his boat, Stella Blue, for a quick passage to Chiapas, the most southerly port in Mexico. After that is was a piece of cake. Marina Chiapas has changed quite a bit since we were here a couple of years ago. They now have their travelift working and the yard was full of sailboats on the hard. The restaurant was very busy, and the food was good as well. Tomorrow, Wednesday. I plan to take the boat s...

SV Sine Timore: December 2014

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 21, 2014. Some last few images from Valparaiso. Tomorrow, after almost a week in the gorgeous city of Valparaiso, we will be boarding our cruise ship bound for the frozen south. From what we can determine, these cruise companies make keeping in touch via Internet a very expensive proposition. As a result, I probably won't be making any new entries in the blog until we arrive in Buenos Aires (don't cheer too loud please). Friday, December 19, 2014. Monday, December 15, 2014. We left early...

SV Sine Timore: April 2014

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 27, 2014. Panama City, Panama. The big day finally arrived. Our scheduled haul-out time, 1:30PM on Friday, April 25th, was here. We could have handled it better, but we survived and the boat is now safely out of the water. Travelift suitable for much larger boats than us. We tried to explain that we were going as fast as we could! After that, it was all pretty tame. Disaster in the making. Just part of the great bus system here in Panama. Tomorrow, the battle of the stuffing box continues.

SV Sine Timore: Long days

http://sinetimore.blogspot.com/2015/07/long-days.html

Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We have been back in Edmonton for over a month now (over 2 months for Susanne). On the down side, Susanne's mother continues her stay in the hospital. Sue spends every day visiting her, which leaves me lots of time to deal with the yard work and miscellaneous household duties, not really my favorite things. Hopefully we will both be able to take some time to make our annual pilgrimage to the west coast at some point in the near future. Why are we here?
