We are back in San Carlos!
It was an uneventful trip north from La Paz, a few island
anchorages and a 110 mile overnight from Isla Coronado to San Carlos bay. We stayed in Marina Real to unload stuff to go home then hauled the boat out Friday for paint and survey this week.
When we splash back in this week, we will go around to Marina San Carlos and park her until June - when we hope to have grandkids Amber and |Daniel aboard for a month.

Below is the start of a different journal - and I hope to get input from cruisers and others. I have several chapters written and this is the start of chapter ONE....
Logs and BLOGS
When I am 90, I don’t think I will
care much what I was doing in
February 2010 – that it was sunny, foggy or windy. I might,
however, recall the sheer terror of a bad day at sea, high winds, big
seas or a following Baja Ferry scooting up my transom.
I might also recall a lazy, warm sail with a following sea and the sails scooting the boat along in light winds. New to sail logs when we started out, I was determined to maintain

I might also recall a lazy, warm sail with a following sea and the sails scooting the boat along in light winds. New to sail logs when we started out, I was determined to maintain
the official
captain’s log (Star date when?) and dutifully noted.
On a recent sail, I actually fell off the toilet AKA the “head”. The
On a recent sail, I actually fell off the toilet AKA the “head”. The
winds
were tossing the boat in an unpredictable manner. Try as I
might to hang on and anticipate a roll or a “pot hole” and hold on
to the ever-handy hand rail, there comes a brief moment to stand
(mostly for girls or guys in rough seas!), pull up pants and zip or
button. This usually requires two hands unless one is extremely
talented. Elastic pants are helpful at sea. The wind and the waves
were at a conflict right at that exact moment and I went flying
back to the seat and up against the wall. Slam, I hit the seat hard, curses that hurt!

Up and grousing,

“We’ve all been there” is a very common line among cruisers.
Yes I would like comments either here or email on your thoughts about Logs and Blogs! I might quote you in the Book. LOL
