Links from speech

This post is for the people from the SAR speech at Paradise Village. Hello and welcome to our little corner of the internet! Please have a look around and check out our video blog below!

As promised, below are the links I mentioned in the speech:

The link to register your EPIRB:

The link to the USCG SAR addendum (638 page download in adobe, be forewarned ;-)

If you have any questions, feel free to call me after the net call sign "Coast Guard Couple" or send me an email(contact info is in my sailing resume).

I look forward to seeing you at the presentation this Friday at La Cruz Marina for a more in depth look at SAR operations from the perspective of the Coast Guard and how you can better prepare yourself for a safe transit!

Resort living

Hey everyone,

Though I know we are feeling quite sad for Tiffany as she is dragged kicking and screaming to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands to be paid to go on vacation for 2 months, I would also like to point out how horrible I have it. I am currently hanging out with our friends Allan & Alison on S/V FLY AWEIGH while they are moored at a private yacht club and resort in Mazatlan, MX. I would also like to point out that there are 4 bars on the resort no farther than 100 yards from each other and all with consecutive happy hours. But the Karaoke is rather painful, so mourn for me ;-) Alison wrote of our adventures in paradise on her blog, check it out at
