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.

This is Pichaco Peak northwest of Tucson, AZ. Its’ right next to I 10 you may have driven right past it.


I climbed to the top with my friend Martha (who has 10 years on me) and fellow hiking club members led by Dean Wilson during our March trip home.

From La Paz, Baja California South, Mexico

We left Mazatlan Saturday (4/8). We arrived Monday morning after a 250-mile mostly motorboat passage. Calm seas and winds. We traveled with two other sailboats. We are leaving this weekend for two weeks in the Islands north of La Paz. We will meet our friends Jean and Bob Ley in Puerto Escondido just south of Loreto on May 2nd.. Cruisers get together the first week of May for a festival and a general good time. Following that we will spend two more weeks moving north then crossing over to our homeport of San Carlos. We don’t expect to have Internet access until San Carlos.
