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

20091227A - Hot dolphin action

Beautiful dolphins we had off our bow. It was awesome, we could see them swimming through the crystal clear water!

20091226A - yeah, we got away from it all...

20091225B - Well it's like mass...kinda

Hurray for Christmas in rural Mexico :)

20091225A - oh, here he is

20091224D - Where the heck is Jesus

20091224C - haven't done this for months

20091221E - Mexican welcoming committee

This sea lion was persistent! He kept following our boat as we were leaving the dock. It was pretty cool :)

Saggitaire's account of our adventures

SAGITTAIRE is the most excellent ride Tiff & I got from San Diego to La Paz, MX. They have updated their blog with our adventures, check it out at

We're mentioned in the late October to late November 2009 entries. Dianne (The first mate & author of the blog) cracks me up. She hates weather underway, loves her husband Mike despite his need to go to sea with her onboard, her dog and cooking (which she is awesome at). She reminds me a lot of my mother, so we can't let them get together...but it's good reading!

We're also in the ships photos - you can find them at
