June 9, 2013

We got up early and departed Puerto Ballandra at 7:35 and motored across the channel to Loreto, dropping anchor at about 9:05. It was a Sunday, so we could go to the Farmers Market, and it was fantastic. Since the weather was calm, we raised anchor under sail at 18:35 and cruised into the anchorage at Isla Coronados at 20:14.

Daily Notes

Nice day trip to Loreto, Farmer’s market, Orlando’s for lunch, El Pescador (groceries)
Raised anchor at Loreto under sail
Motored most of the way to Coronados
Connected w/ Lady Carolina on SSB – They & Resilience are still at San Juanico

(Edit: Loreto Farmer’s Market was mostly like a swap meet, but there was actually a fresh food market and we stocked up and we were happy.)

(Edit: The SSB radio was starting to be worth the investment.)

Ballandra to Loreto — The inReach is the GPS transponder we use to track our location. When we lose data either 1) the batteries died or 2) we forgot to turn it on.

Exodus anchored off Loreto. You can see the volcano on Isla Cornados in the distance

There’s a handicap ramp but I guess you’ve got to jump the gutter

Lunch at Orlando’s. Excellent beer on tap. Mmmmm…. IPA

We had a great day in Loreto today. We went to the Farmers Market and they had a fantastic selection of fresh veggies. Most of it was a lot like a swap meet, though, but all we got were veggies. We are anchored tonight at Isla Coronados and we will be heading to San Juanico tomorrow. Thanks to the SSB (Single Side Band) radio nets we’ve been in contact with Lady Carolina (another kid boat that G&M met when they were here) so they are waiting for us there. Gotta love ancient technology.
Love and miss all of you.

June 3-8, 2013

In and out of Puerto Escondido. Got a wifi fix, did laundry, picked up some groceries, and topped off the diesel. We anchored again, even though the starboard engine is fixed and we could have picked up a mooring ball. Since we already had an anchor waypoint saved in the chart plotter, we figured that was the easiest thing to do.

Candoleros Chico was a wonderful little cove. The guidebook says it is a one boat anchorage, but we squeezed in there with another small boat. For the first time in over a month, we find ourselves alone, and the family time was welcomed.

Puerto Ballandra was also a nice spot, located on the northern end of Isla Carmen.

Checked in at Fonatur Marina office & provisioned at Pedro’s store. Pedro told us how to make English muffins
Walk to Modelorama & Tripui restaurant for lunch
Diesel at fuel dock. Filled water jugs & hosed down Exodus
Passage to Candeleros Chico. One other boat in the anchorage.

Trekking to the Modelorama, which is about 1/2 mile from the dock. There is a tienda at the dock but I always like to check out all the provisioning options. I like the Modelorama because it’s far better organized. Yes, I’m a sucker for that sort of thing.

Tabor Canyon (aka Steinbeck’s Canyon) is in the distance.

This very well groomed center divider seemed so out of place

Puerto Escondido and Tripui — The Modelorama is in the small town of Tripui

PE to Candeleros Chico — It was a rush to get out of Puerto Escondido so we could get to Candeleros Chico before dark. We departed at 17:30 and arrived 19:15 under motor with both engines the whole way.

Hi, we are still at Candeleros Chico and we are loving it. It’s a very small cove, just us and one other boat here. The boys have been hugely successful spearfishing, and the snorkeling is amazing. Today we are going to have an early dinner (fish tacos, what else) and then go for a sunset hike. We will likely be here a couple more days and then another provisioning trip into Loreto then back up to San Juanico.

The rugged terrain, we tried to go for a hike but the spiderwebs deterred us. While looking for the trailhead, we found a huge spider and the boys fed it horse flies

We will be leaving this wonderful little cove later this morning and heading to one of the anchorages closer to Loreto. We are going to go to Loreto tomorrow to provision before heading North. There’s a farmers market that everyone raves about in Loreto on Sunday mornings, so we are going to try to hit that. After being with all the kid boats we’ve been enjoying time on our own. Two nights ago we had a campfire and roasted marshmallows on the beach and last night we made hot chocolate and stargazed on the deck of Exodus. Good times. There are two other kid boats still here and we are going to head north to catch up with them.
Love and miss you all,

Making sure the solar shower bags are in a nice sunny spot

Dog on the Beach

Isla Coronados has one of the best running beaches in terms of sand consistency and slope, but it’s relatively short, which means lots of laps, and it is also fraught with danger (exaggeration alert.) The first time I kayaked over to it in order to check it out, I was in a nice peaceful mental place, listening to my iPod, and enjoying the solitude. As I pulled up to the edge of the beach, just as I was about to step out, I was attacked and I yelled in the most dramatic fashion. A medium to large-sized dog had jumped into the kayak with me and was stepping all over me and the kayak (which is a blowup kayak after all). The owner ran over, called the dog out, and apologized. And after I got up and brushed myself off, I also apologized for my overdramatic response, it’s just that I was so lost in thought it had totally caught me off guard. I stood there and talked with her for a few minutes, and it turned out to be a fruitful experience because that’s how I learned about the Sunday Farmers Market in Loreto.

At Isla Coronados we caught back up with Sweet Dreams and Fluenta, but it was bittersweet because we also said good-bye to them for the summer. But on the bright side, we also made some new friends on SV Resilience.

Algae bloom – pea-green water @ Isla Coronados

Boys skurfing & swimming on Exodus
Fluenta kids here for movies, no-bake cookies, & minecraft
D – Kayak to west beach – nice for running. Met Lisa (sv Gypsy) & her dog
T – fixed macerator, mounted wifi antenna

My favorite beach at Isla Coronados is at the SW end where the island makes a kind of hook and looks back at itself. This is the view from that beach looking at the anchorage and the volcano.

Southern beach — The beach at the SW tip of the island

Nice running beach, except for the aggressive sea gull who would dive bomb me everytime I was at the East end of the beach. Too near the rookery, I guess.

There was a seagull rookery along this shore

Subject: Hi

We sadly said goodbye to Gary and Marsha yesterday but fortunately we caught up with 3 other kid boats up at Isla Coronados so that eased the boys’ melancholy moods. The parents on one of the boats that we hadn’t seen since La Paz are both Marine Biologists and this morning they are conducting “school” for all the kids exploring and discussing the diversity of life in the water here. Brenden was super excited. We also met a new kid boat down in Agua Verde with 2 boys aboard 8 and 12 yrs old and they will also be staying in the sea this summer so we won’t be the only kid boat! (Most people don’t stay here during the summer, they leave their boat somewhere and go home and then come back in the fall. That’s what most of the kid boats are doing.)
Love and miss you all.

We are heading into Puerto Escondido for a couple days for laundry and wifi. Should be new photos going up on Facebook today or tomorrow. Our kid boat gang has totally disbanded since they are all leaving their boats and going home for the summer. We said good-bye to the last one this morning. But we have recently met 2 other kid boats… one is staying until the end of June and the other is staying for the summer like us, so we won’t be the only kid boat in the sea this summer.

Fun with Gary and Marsha

Having Tim’s parents on board was a lot of fun, and I’m not just saying that. Think about the small living space that is our boat and realize how difficult it could be having guests aboard. There is a saying, “If you’re in the boat, you’re in the way,” and it’s true on our boat even with only four of us, so I was expecting 6 people to be a bit challenging. However, Gary and Marsha were very easy to have on board. While we get to go to remote anchorages and experience picturesque scenery, life on the sailboat isn’t exactly luxurious. We have to be careful about conserving just about everything (water, propane, electricity, trash, etc.) and not to mention how hot it is. But there was never a peep of a complaint or even a hint of being uncomfortable (although we did go through ice cubes and a very fast pace).

Sure, it was their vacation, but that didn’t stop Tim from putting his mom to work. In addition to bringing us the wind scoop that she made while still at home, Marsha sewed us a huge sunshade for our foredeck while she was here. It makes a huge difference when the afternoon sun is on the bow. It was quite comical too, while in San Juanico with 20 kt afternoon winds Tim wanted to test the sunshade and everyone was out on deck trying to put up the sunshade without getting wiped with an end or a bungee cord. Marsha was actually hand stitching the sunshade when Kim from Star Passage came over and offered to loan us her sewing machine. What a difference, except Marsha is a night owl like Tim, and one night I woke to a noise that sounded like a freight train running through the boat. It was Marsha cranking away on the sewing machine and hanging out with Tim into the wee hours of the night. Kim also loaned us a grommet gun, which also made the job easier, and cut down on the noise of Tim’s mallet pounding trying to get the grommets in place. Marsha also hand sewed our mainsail stack pack which had torn almost along the whole length of the zipper. If you haven’t read Marsha’s recap of the trip, you should check it out, because it actually sounded like she had fun, not like we put her in a sweatshop and made her sew all day long. Gary helped Tim with a few projects too, and it was especially nice to have his help when Tim went up the mast to check on our VHF antenna connection and clean the mast track.

Tim and Marsha working on a sewing project

Swimming, snorkeling, and eating actually took up most of our time while Gary and Marsha were here, so maybe it was a vacation for them after all. I just asked the boys what their favorite memories are, and Brenden said spearfishing with Grandpa and Alex said playing games with Grandma. It was a really important visit for the boys because they miss home and family so much, and they loved sharing part of our new life with their grandparents.

Notes from Mexico Trip

By Marsha (Tim’s Mom)

Mexico trip May 2013

Landed in Loreto about 1pmTim met us. So good to see him! Taxi to dock. Dinghy to boat with Alex, wow the boys are so big and so tan! It’s so wonderful to see everyone!. On to Isla Coronados for the night. Deanne made fish tacos with the huge Gold grouper Tim speared last week! It was wonderful! Sat out under the stars and talked to the boys about all the things they’ve experienced! Beautiful night! To bed early!

Wednesday, May 22

Got up to bees all over the deck! They love the freshwater dew early in the morning! Had breakfast and the boys took off to hooka with one of the other kid boats, Dee went snorkeling and running and I relaxed on the boat…a little swimming, a little reading, a lot of unwinding! I swam and snorkeled around the boat. Saw lots of pufferfish and a manta ray! Took off in the afternoon for San Juanico about 10 miles away. Tied up in a beautiful little bay…no one else there. The boys went spearfishing and I tagged along snorkeling. It was great. They got two fish and we ate them for dinner! Alex couldn’t wait to spear his first fish! Slept great!

Thurs. May 23

Got up and went for a snorkel first thing! It was so wonderful! Like swimming thru a huge aquarium! Saw a Balloonfish (so cute!), lobster, Seargent majors, Hogfish, pencil fish, rays and so many others! Loved it! Swam back to the boat for Dee’s great pancakes and the guys were off for another spearfishing adventure! This time Alex got one! He was so excited! And Brenden was excited for him! They all took off for a little get together on the beach with the other kid boats and G and I stayed on board for a little downtime!

Friday, May 24.

Brenden speared his first fish! He was so proud and Alex got one big enough to eat!

Sat May 25

Absolutely breathtaking full moon last night! Gods wonders! I can’t keep up with my entries! I brought some ripstop material with me so Tim and I made a shade out of it for up in front of the boat (fore, I think!). I think it’s going to be ok for up to 10 knot winds. We tried to put it up in 20 knots and the boys almost sailed up in the air with it!! Thanks to the Johnson’s, Kim and Peter, for the loan of their sewing machine! They have a boat with 2 kids so we’ve been spending time with them, snorkeling, spearfishing and having dinner here and on their boat. Today we are sailing from San Juanico to bay of Salinas. There we will dive on a sunken fishing vessel !It’s a beautiful day!! The water is like glass and only about 80•. Love it! Arrived in Salinas Bay about 5, after a lovely sail and catching 4 fish on the way! Three Bonitas and a long skinny prehistoric-looking one! I Could not resist the temptation to go over to the beach with Alex and Brenden. Swam in warm water and watched the boys boogie board til sunset! It was great! Delicious fish for dinner!

May 27, 2013, Mon

Snorkeled at the sunken ship (a 120 ft tuna boat that sunk there in 1981). It was amazing! The bottom is in 30 ft of water and part of it sticks up out of the water so you don’t even need diving equipment, you can see everything with just a snorkel! Incredible amt of fish, all sizes and shapes! Wow! Now taking off for Aqua Verde, about a 6 hr sail…rest and recoup time! What a trip this has been! Arrived at Agua Verde about 6 at a nice anchorage. Saw whales on the way here and lots of dolphins. Beautiful place, nice weather after the sun goes behind the mountain! Goats on the hills, beautiful fish in the water, nice breeze!

May 28. Tuesday

Put up our sunshade…nice! Hot in the sun – nice in the shade! Went snorkeling/spearfishing a little ways from the boat. Lots of swells but ok as long as you kept your head down! Brenden got two fish including. Cabria (very good eating!), Alex got one and Tim got one! I saw lots of fish! Love this!

Weds. May 29

Swam to a little bay to snorkel, not too clear but nice anyway! Lots of rocks tho, hard on the feet! Met another family who is staying here for the summer..that will be nice for the boys. They have boys, 8 and 12. Most people are going home for the summer. Can’t believe we only have one full day left! Had a combo fish dinner..delicious! Oh and right after dinner a call went out over the radio that someone needed help here in the cove..on shore somewhere..everyone immediately jumped in their dinghy s and headed there to help. As it turned out everything was fine, but the response was amazing! The cruising community is pretty amazing.

Thursday. May 30

The boys went spearfishing on Roca Solataria (solitary rock) early this morning. I’m working on trying to get the sail holder sewn up a little! Nice day! Boys came back with a beautiful big Cabria fish..yum! Now we are underway and actually under sail! We’ve had to motor so far cause not enough wind going our way. So nice to sail! On our way to Honeymoon Cove for the night! Cabria tacos for lunch!! Deanne does an amazing job feeding all of us!! We’ve had lots of fish and its been delicious!

Friday. May 31

Took off early for Loreto Lots of sad goodbyes for me and the boys but after lots of hugs and kisses and vowing to come back before too long, Tim took us to the wharf in the dinghy and we were off to the airport and home. Thank you to Tim and Deanne for the trip of a lifetime! If it weren’t for you, we never would have seen all those wonders!

We were so sad to say good-bye to Gary and Marsha. Honeymoon Cove is on Isla Danzante just south of Loreto. We only stayed there one night and we got chased out in the morning by hundreds of bees enjoying the dew that had collected on Exodus. Then we went to Loreto and said our good-byes.

Edit: Oh my god the bees! Our first bad encounter was back at Bahia San Gabriel on Isla Espiritu Santo, when Tim got the bright idea to put a bucket of water up on the port bow so that way they wouldn’t bother us in the cockpit. This time we woke up to thousands of bees all over the deck drinking the dew. Raising anchor was a precarious situation but somehow we got out of there with no bee stings.

Edit: About this time I started recording anchor chain we let out along with the depth. We tried to shoot for at least 5 to 1 scope most of the time. We hadn’t dragged since getting the new anchor, but we were a lot more mindful about it.

We will miss Grandma and Grandpa! So glad they got to come visit!

After Gary and Marsha headed to the airport, we did some provisioning. This is typically how we transport our groceries from the store to the dock… on our packmules

Out of Gas?

Out of Gas in Agua Verde?

To get to the tienda at Agua Verde you land on the beach (kayak or dinghy, doesn’t much matter) and then walk a short distance. One morning, Brenden and I took the dinghy to shore, and this was probably the first time we had done a beach landing in the dinghy just the two of us. Brenden isn’t as keen to driving the dinghy as Alex is. In fact, he’s admitted he doesn’t like driving because he doesn’t like landing it because he’s worried if he does it wrong, dad will yell at him.

So, that morning, maybe because it was just me, he agreed to be the chauffeur and take me to shore and we landed the dinghy without incident and made our shopping run. So far so good. Then, when we got back to the dinghy, we pushed off from shore, and here’s where the fun started. It wouldn’t start. We both tried a couple times without success. So, I checked the gas can. Light and empty. I was mad. No, I was absolutely fuming. I could not believe we were out of gas! I radioed to let Tim know but he was unavailable so I talked to Marsha, and I’m sure she could even feel the daggers coming out of my eyes through the radio. Brenden knew right away how to get the oars in the water, but we were heading upwind and it would have been a very long row. Tim radioed back when there was still smoke coming out of my ears and asked if we were sure we were out of gas, because it feels empty when it’s not quite empty. OK, now I feel small. We tried a few more times to start it, and, of course, it started. So, we weren’t really out of gas, and all of my anger was mostly misplaced. However, I never take the dinghy anywhere on my own without checking the gas level myself anymore, so I learned that lesson almost the hard way.
