Welcome to Vagari’s 7th winter of sailing. We have put 8,000 miles under Vagari’s keel during those cruises but this year like last year won’t be a high mileage year. We just don’t have the lust for the long cruises that we did when we started cruising but we still enjoy living on board and sailing near our homeport. Welcome aboard! We hope you enjoy our blog. Your comments, questions and suggestions are appreciated and encouraged.

Headed for the Barn

November 21, 2004; 24 Degrees 32.01’North 110 Degrees 22.51’ West; Water Temperature 80 High Cloud Cover Air only mid 70’s; Partida Island, B. C. S. Mexico.

We have worked our way down the coast. We are now just 25 n.m. from La Paz where, starting tomorrow afternoon, we will spend two weeks enjoying the capital of Baja California Sur, a marina and our fellow cruisers. Rhea reminds me that we have not even seen a store in well over two weeks.

We keep a notebook of items that we want to buy in the next port; items that we want guests to bring down; and items that we want to bring from home on the next trip. I was reviewing the list today and noted the second item on the “bring from home” list is “Whole House”. Perhaps after 16 nights in 10 different anchorages and about 300 n. m. under the keel Rhea is ready for La Paz. So am I. Cruising is not like camping but we do miss some of the comforts of shore life. Not to mention that Rhea has been out of wine for several days.

I don’t have a clue about what the readers of this blog would like to read and see. I could send a travel log with great sunset/sunrises, beautiful anchorages and coastline shots every day. So if you would like something different than these first few posts please let me know. I will do what I can to make this blog interesting.
