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.

Home Under Construction (4)

 

 

 

 

The basement of this hillside home is large enough for three good size RV’s plus a few small rooms carved into the stone hillside that could be used to store Mom’s canned goods.

We went into the large city of Guaymas for lunch at a hotel that was built in 1935 and still operates today. Rhea and I have just finished a book written by an anthropologist who lived in Guaymas in 1970 with the poor and this hotel was a part of the book. The book is a novel but with an anthropology twist (The Guaymas Chronicles by David E. Stuart). It’s a good read.

Our morning walk on Monday took up the west side of Tetas de Cabra. It was a short but steep hike. We left at 7 AM and got back at 11:30 AM.
