This is the moment I've dreamed of for weeks (except for the limonada and reggae, that is) while I lurched and pounded my way upwind through some pretty disgusting seas, and some really rolly windy anchorages. My cruising days are almost over. I really should have waited until later in the season to bring it north, it would have been faster and easier.
A surprise at the anchorage at Jaltemba Bay
... free auto accessories.
... free auto accessories.
It's even uglier from this side of the boat.
I was able to shake it loose in a few minutes, though.
I was able to get a great wifi signal 3 miles
out from this little beach house along the coast.
Then we'll leave the boat in Mazatlan (I've purchased a new bilge switch here for a good price) and probably sail up to San Carlos in June, haul it out, paint it, correct a few minor problems and put it on the market with 10 gazillion other boats. Maybe we could just make the boat and the business a package deal... sell a lifestyle, not just a business. A fantastic deal for a forty-something with a house payment, a boring job, and some people and computer skills. Sell the house and do this. Work part-time for 5 months of the year from Mexico, spend the rest cruising the coast and Sea of Cortez. (End of commercial message....)
Imagine the life... (please direct your friends with
disposable income to this blog. Thank you.)

Hey, it worked for us. Somewhere in the frozen North, somebody is dreaming of this very line of work, this very boat, this very lifestyle. Let's just hope they have some money saved up.
True, my dear. And after we've taught them the ropes of the business, we'd teach them to sail. Sort of a Mexico Cruiser's Boot Camp. Which, in itself, is not a bad business concept, ne?
I suppose you're too far north to go back to San PAncho, but there's a VW camper there for a reasonable price I thought you'd like to see. Advertised in San Pancho website classifieds. I'll go back and get a link if I can.
