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.

Cardon Cactus. It looks like a Saguaro Cactus but its not. 75% of the cactus species in Baja are endemic to Baja (found only in Baja).

Middle of the night underway, 100 miles from land with all the instruments up and running. If you think I took this because I was bored you are right.
