Wind and Waves

Wayne and Carol, sunset off of Deer island.
We anchored around Deer island, right off of Mazatlan and spent a couple days exploring.  The snorkeling was a little murky (I’m getting so spoiled!)  So exploring the island was much more exciting for me.  I LOVE running around in my bare feet and bikini exploring an island [...]

We spent the following day getting ready for the next leg of our journey. This meant zooming around Mazatlan in a pulmonaria  Pulmonario is a little volkswagon looking car, that is open to the air (hence the word pulmonario…..means lungs) It feels like your in a golf cart.

We did a huge shopping [...]

Upon reaching Mazatlan, I knew I had to find another boat heading South because Ian was going to stick around for awhile. This process gives me a lot of anxiety. I’m still shy, no matter how hard I try to push myself out of my comfort zone with this! Making myself comfortable and [...]

Here is the boat I crewed on from Cabo to La Paz, named Marissa, a Tayana. A Beautiful boat with a teak interior. I was excited that Walter (part owner of the boat) was from Portland. On our trip we enjoyed Stumptown Coffee freshly ground in a hand grinder from (Albania….?) It [...]

Here it is, my first catch ever! With Thaddeous, showing me how to do it, I reeled this yellow tail tuna in. I won’t mention what happened after the picture was taken, to the poor tuna! In order to kill it, you pound its head with a hammer or pour alcohol in its [...]

I have so much catching up to do!  Wow. I got into San Diego, had an amazing time getting to know Kay (Matt’s mom) who along with Matt, were unbelievably supporting.  I also had a chance to get to know my  boat mates (quite characters, they are……..Lunasea ll (our boat name) might just be perfect [...]

I left Moab! With tears in my eyes. I have never fallen in love with a land as deeply as I have Moab. It was heart wrenching to leave……….but at least I feel like I have a home I want to come back to. Someday! In three weeks…in Two years……who [...]

Here are Bego and Miso, (two regulars who frequent the bookstore/coffeeshop) and a writer, fellow who is new to town in the back. Bego (on the left) works for search and Rescue and writes up the “minutes”, a paper describing all the rescues they’ve done in the canyons,mountains, Rivers, and Desert.  There are a [...]

So, this fellow came into the bookstore carrying his IMac bigscreen computer, like it was a laptop. He asked me where there might be a plug. I set him up in kinda an odd spot because customers were using the other plugs. He got himself all set up on the floor of [...]

My time in Moab has been unbelievable. Every day, something magical seems to happen. I’m really enjoying the small town feel and being surrounded by happy people who are here because there is no place they’d rather be. The striking beauty here never dulls. Cliffs spanning into the sky, the Bright [...]

Peggy is my next door neighbor while I am staying at Fred’s. I feel lucky to have her as my neighbor, she’s been nothing but kind. The first morning I arrived and was discombobulated and a little scared (the phones, for the motorcycle shop are spread all around the house and were ringing off the [...]

In the early morning, I’ve been going up to Sand Flats and finding a rock over looking the sunken valley of Moab and the cliffs accentuating the scene.   I like to sit and think, do yoga, read and write in my journal.  During this morning time, I  get inspired to write majestic blog entries………..but [...]

Before leaving Colorado, Nathan and I went on a hike up the mountain that overlooks the valley I grew up in.  It is one of those “special” spots for me, where i feel centered and inspired. You must climb to get to the top and once on top you have a 360 degree view of [...]
