Vagari anchored 15 miles North of San Carlos 

THE PLAN

To leave San Carlos, Mexico as soon as the hurricane season is over (Nov. 1^st +/-) and follow the ideal weather south to about 100 miles North of Acapulco, Mexico. Then as it starts to get a little too warm head back north, returning to San Carlos in April or May. We plan to return home for a few weeks sometime in February or March to take a break and let the IRS know how much fun we are having. The Sea of Cortez and the West coast of Mexico are some of the best cruising waters in the world during this season. Warm water and air, good diving, great sailing, and just enough other cruisers so you can have a very social cruise or get away from it all. Some family will visit us in Puerto Vallarta in mid January.

SOME BACKGROUND

We are in our early 60’s, in good health, retired, financially secure and ready for some adventure.

Stan started sailing when he was in his mid-teens. Rhea started even younger while crewing for her older brother during club races but never got bitten by the sailing bug like her husband did.

We have owned several sailboats and have done some cruising in Southern California and the West coast of Mexico but it’s hard to do any extended cruising when you have the working disease.

As soon as we were permanently cured of that disease we purchased a 41’ sailboat in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico and spent 5 weeks on her in the late spring-summer of 2004. San Carlos is an easy 7 hour drive due South of our home.

Vagari is a 1991 Morgan 41 Classis MKII center cockpit sloop. She was purchased new in 1991 by Captain John McMahon and sailed from San Diego to Mexico in 1996. She cruised the West coast of Mexico until 2003. We purchased her in March of 2004. Captain McMahon took superb care of her and made numerous modifications and improvements. Vagari was the best maintained and equipped vessel we have ever seen. Thank you John, we are trying to meet the high standards you set.
