Next we headed to San Evaristo, another acutely small but scenic fishing town with mostly shacks and a restaurant that only opens every other day, but not today because today isn’t every other day. (Kudos to those people who recognized this and love logical fallacies!) We spent only a night there and then started off…

We stayed in Raza Inlet for as long as we could, however our food got pretty low and if we wanted to refrain from eating crackers and cat kibbles, we’d have to head to La Paz. La Paz is considered the metropolis of Baha Mexico, with grocery stores that have two floors, movie theaters and…

Finally, we reached Cabo San Lucas! Civilization never seemed so sweet. We anchored and dressed and got ready to go to El Squid Roe, a family “friendly” bar and restaurant. It’s filled with lights, shouting, loud music and dancing. Not to mention heavy drinking. I didn’t like it at all, and at the end of…

We left for the Haha on the 29th of October, for a two day and a bit passage to Bahía de Tortugas – Turtle Bay in English. The Baja Haha is a big armada this year about 160 boats or rally of boats which go from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas through a series…

That may not seem like a high number, but otters were severely hunted and culled throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, dropping their numbers to around…

(Photos can be viewed here) Being rudely interrupted is the worst. A friend ruining your joke’s punch line, stubbing your toe whilst walking, burping in a conversation… the list goes on. But for me, it was sleeping only to wake up being rolled across my berth. No thanks. I don’t get seasick, unlike my dad…

Here ye olde land lubbers can find yer selves what my sail-y words and terms mean. Arr. Swell: naturally occurring ocean waves, usually traveling in one similar direction. Pylon: Large, upright cylinders located on floating docks. Stern: the backend of a boat. Dinghy: a small, usually rubber, boat that is used for recreational things and…

(Photos can be viewed here and here) “Rose! Wake up! Plane leaves in 3 hours and we need to grab the cats and get moving!” My response was a grunt. It was six am, and I’d been trying to sleep since 1 am and I was in no mood to move even my pinky finger,…
