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.

VAGARI'S CRUISING LOG

Tuesday 4/17/07 Stayed on the boat all day. S/v Linda came over for dinner and Mexican Train. A very relaxing day.

Wednesday Hiked to the top of the volcanic rim. Scrapped my left wrist and bruised my backside on the way down. Fell several times and broke my hiking stick twice. A really great hike, lots of fun but we came down a rugged route. Wouldn't come down that way again. One highlight was that we saw three large black rabbits. Very large ears and just under 2 feet long I guess.

The second highlight was the view from the top. You will really like the photos. I will post them ASAP but that may be a couple of weeks.

The s/v's Sea Bourn, Liberty Call II and Linda came over for dinner and the usual exchange of cruising "stories". Great fun. Cloudy and cool all day.

Thursday Walk on the beach, boat projects and reading. Relaxing day. Cloudy and cool.

Friday Anchor on deck at 8:30; anchor down at 2:30 for 22 miles. We sailed all the way. Well less than 3 kts/hr at times but Vagari really moved for the light wind we had - some from the side but mostly behind us.

Arrived at Isla San Francisco to see a jet ski from a big La Paz powerboat zooming around this beautiful isolated anchorage. Prosperity is a two-sided coin.

High temp in the 80's clear sky. The forecast is for NW winds at 20 kts or better tomorrow then light and variable winds Sunday. If that holds, we will move north Sunday.
