And a gynormous finback whale, we were gliding so quietly on such little wind that we got very close to this one, so close we could see it's blowhole open and close as it "rested" on the surface. At this point, it noticed us and started to move. IMGP9722.JPG 2010-07-15

Finally dropped our sails as the winds never filled and the currents were pushing us the wrong way... The all weather anchorage on Isla Estanque requires a specifically timed entrance. IMGP9731.JPG 2010-07-15

IMGP9742.JPG
Too hairy to get pictures on the entrance, but here we are looking for shade in this amazing spot. IMGP9742.JPG 2010-07-15

IMGP9749.JPG
Going out to take a cross section of the entrance, only not the best time, it's high tide... We went back again at a low tide. IMGP9749.JPG 2010-07-15

IMGP9755.JPG
This is the beginning of an ebb, see Isla AdlG on the horizon and the water passing between Isla Estanque where we are and AdlG looks like a rapid!!! IMGP9755.JPG 2010-07-15

IMGP9778.JPG
As the water drains out of the pond at low tide, it turns into two, an upper and a lower pond. Tao if of course anchored in the lower pond as the upper is barely 3 feet deep at low tide. IMGP9778.JPG 2010-07-16

A bigger ebb tide creates a standing wave that nearly connects Isla Estanque to Isla AdlG. This is why you don't want to enter during an ebb tide, because the current can sweep you into the shallows which are basically a "reef". IMGP9800.JPG 2010-07-16

Nice anchor job in a beautiful anchorage. We sailed around it 3 times before selecting the perfect spot; protected from the current winds as well as from night time westerlies and far enough away from our first neighbors of the trip! IMGP9844.JPG 2010-07-17

Note the weather-worn duct-tape (which we'll never use again for storing) and the lock which was cut by Marina San Carlos to check for flooding down below from Hurricane Jimena (the water was just below our sole at the top of the bilge). PB040510.JPG 2009-11-04

Water from Hurricane Jimena was just about up to our floorboards. Phew! Skated on that one. There was so much stuff inside Tao, the Marina Seca staff probably wouldn't have been able to tell if the water was above the sole or not after they cut the lock to check... PB040524.JPG 2009-11-04

Sea of Cortez: Cabo to Concepcion to mainland

Leaving Cabo
2009-02-21; We were happy to be leaving Cabo San Lucas craziness.

Cabo sunset
2009-02-21; We left Cabo San Lucas at sunset and as darkness descended, we were treated to carnival fireworks!

Sunrise off Los Frailes
2009-02-22

Los Frailes
2009-02-24; We FINALLY caught up with our buddies on Pisces. We sailed into this packed anchorage (boats were holed up to avoid the norther we had just beat up here in) and anchored right next door (luckily they were already friends!)

Pesky
2009-02-24; Julia and Jacob in their sailing dinghy Pesky.

Yay Pisces!
2009-02-23; Pre-pizza-dinner cocktails on Tao.

Sunrise on passage
2009-02-26; We left Los Frailes at midnight in hopes of making Muertos before nightfall. We got to see two sunrises.

Our first fish!
2009-02-26; Mahi mahi is an amazing fish and we felt very lucky to have caught one as our first. Thank you Mother Ocean!

Beautiful dorado
2009-02-26

Dinner!
2009-02-26; Chris cleaning his first catch. Notice that we are still under sail! Good job Chrisy!

Sunset off Los Muertos
2009-02-26; We didn't quite make it to Muertos before sunset, so we hove to and stood off until the next morning. While we were awaiting sunrise, Shawn became Auntie to two lovely girls, Ainsley and Campbell!

Tao sailing into Los Muertos
2009-02-27; Pisces took this of us as we sailed into Los Muertos after a night of standing off awaiting the sun.

Norther at Los Muertos
2009-02-28; We weathered a norther at Los Muertos. Winds whipped over the spit that sheltered us at 40 knots! Here you can see our wireless antenna as well as the bridle system we set up on a port tack so we wouldn't sail so much in the storm.

Jumping Rays
2009-02-28; These animals are amazing flipping and jumping in the air, playing all the time, yet I was unable to capture it- This splash is the closest I got.

Griz relaxing
2009-02-28

Kaalelewa
2009-03-03; Chris welcomed Matt and Thai on Kaalelewa (who we met on the Outside on Valentine's Day at Bahia Santa Maria) in Pesky as they sailed to anchor in Los Muertos.

Los Planes provision
2009-03-04; Julia, Chris and Shawn hitched rides to the nearest town for some fresh produce. We couldn't hike without people stopping to offer us rides, so we hopped in!

Los Muertos sunrise
2009-03-05

Los Muertos lunch
2009-03-05; We hiked along the shoreline and into the hills with Pisces.

Grizzly bath time
2009-03-06; Griz always found the comfy spots! Here she decided to take a bath on our paco pad.

Dorado tacos
2009-02-24; We were happy to share our fresh fish.

Yoga on the beach
2009-03-06

Muertos Palapa
2009-03-06; "The crew" was invited here to have food, drinks, and use the pool by this places employees trying to drum up some business. We missed our friends on Cotton, busy making music videos...

First spinnaker run
2009-03-07; We had an amazing buddy boat experience out of Los Muertos toward La Paz. Pisces an hour ahead and Kaalelewa an hour behind, the three of us enjoyed running down the Cerralvo channel as the sun set.

Grizzly likes spinnakers
2009-03-07; It was an amazing run for our first time flying the spinnaker! We were flying at over 6 knots and the ride was so smooth that Grizzly came up on deck to check it out.

Storm spinnaker
2009-03-07; Chris loves flying our colors. It's a good thing that we have a storm spinnaker because we were able to leave it up through some pretty hefty winds.

Sunset bonito
2009-03-07; Sunrise and set seem to be the times that the fish hit our lines. Chris' second catch was identified with help over the VHF from Matt of Kaalelewa- yummy bonito!

Dolphin greetings
2009-03-08; After sunset the winds diminished until they dissappeared altogether. Just before sunrise winds filled in from the NE and both Tao and Pisces beat north toward Isla Partida. In the background you can see Caleta Partida a near all weather anchorage nestled between Isla Espiritu Santo (on the right) and Isla Partida (on the left). We never did stay there as it was always busy with lots of boats.

Griz recovering
2009-03-09; Overnight passages really wear a kitten out!

Ensenada Grande sunset
2009-03-08; We anchored for several days in Ensenada Grande the most northern anchorage on the west side of Isla Partida. The moon was small so the stargazing was amazing from our hammock.

Crab

Exploring Ensenada Grande
2009-03-09

Time to hike
2009-03-09; We hiked to the eastern side of the island (Isla Partida)

View to the NE
2009-03-09; Geologically the land here (on both Isla Partida and Espiritu Santo) all slopes down to the west creating great anchorages on the western side of the island. The eastern side is steep and weather beaten with great views.

Exploring
2009-03-10; Check out the cool geological formation in the background. We went exploring and snorkeling in the southern lobe of Ensenada Grande and the next cove south. We even found blue footed boobys!!!

Southern lobe
2009-03-10; One of our favorite anchorages as it has some decent protection from nightly Corumuels.

Ensenada Grande
2009-03-10; This is the southern edge of Ensenada Grande

Sunny
2009-03-10; Sunny, our solar panel, cranking away at making energy for us.

Sunset happiness
2009-03-10; We're so happy!

Masthead light work
2009-03-11; After being here a couple days, Chris figured he should get some work done. So, regardless of the slight chop of left over Corumuel coming into the anchorage he decided to change the masthead light (we had replaced it with an LED that was way too dim, so needed to put the original back). It was a successful mission, the bulb was changed, but the minute Chris reached the deck, he tossed his cookies from being swung around so much at the top of the mast. Yikes!

Tao headed to Espiritu Santo
2009-03-11; We decided to check out another anchorage and sailed a little ways south to Isla Espiritu Santo with Pisces. A photoshoot ensued.

Pisces photo shoot
2009-03-11

Tao and Pisces
2009-03-11; photo shoot

Caleta El Candelero
2009-03-11; Both Pisces and Tao sailed onto anchor in this amazingly beautiful spot. Wind and seas kicked up a little over night and Pisces decided to move to a more protected cove while Tao stayed one more night.

Candalero
2009-03-11; Sunset on our first evening there. Who knew that Coromuels would kick up strong after the second sunset? But, we survived and it was worth the amazing day we spent there snorkeling and hiking!

North edge of Candalero
2009-03-12; After some amazing snorkeling in a lobe south of this cove we decided to hike the north ridge to see if we could find Pisces anchored just north of us in Caleta Partida.

Isla Ballena
2009-03-12; You can see the Candelero in the foreground and Isla Ballena in the background- so called because it looks like a whale.

Caleta El Candelero

Rattleless rattler
2009-03-13; This guy was right next to the trail!

Sail to Ballandra Bay
2009-03-14; After a morning of bobbing in calm seas, the winds picked up for Tao and Pisces to head toward Ballandra Bay, last stop before La Paz.

Tao
2009-07-14; On our way into Ballandra Bay, Pisces took this shot.

City bound
2009-03-15; We had an amazing downwind sail all the way from Ballandra Bay to the big city of La Paz. As we sailed down the narrow and dredged channel, what appeared to be millions of boats anchored came into sight. We made a few passes before settling on a spot to sail onto anchor. Nerve wracking for sure, but well worth it as Matt and Thai quickly approached with cold cerveza!

St. Patty's Day crew
2009-03-18; Mo and Dave of Andiamo, Matt and Thai of Kaalelewa, Julia and Jacob of Pisces, and Shawn and Chris of Tao. We searched out the only Irish Pub in the city and found it closed!?

Ice cream!
2009-03-18; One of the things that tastes so good on shore is cold, sweet, ice cream no matter where. This was followed by visits to La Fuente and a new favorite- corn ice cream! Since Jacob's parents were visiting we had a rental car available and did a huge provision run.

First provision load
2009-03-18; Thanks for driving Pisces!

Magote crew
2009-03-25; After a week close to town, we decided to check out to the other side of the harbor and Pisces came to visit after Jacob's parents headed home.

Griz helping sew
2009-03-27; Grizzly helped Shawn make Julia a fleece skirt (aka blanket).

Sweet smelling blooms
2009-03-28; These flowers smelled like a mellow Dr. Pepper

Second provision
2009-03-29; Shawn and Julia did another big provisioning run together in preperation of heading out of La Paz.

Block party!
2009-03-29; Happy hour on Tao was first stop, then appetizers on Pisces, and finally dinner on Cats Paw.

Fresh veggies!
2009-03-31; It's recommended that you wash all vegetables before bringing them aboard, so this is the post wash drying before stowing.

Magote sunset
2009-03-31

Ballandra party
2009-04-04; A day later than originally planned, as Chris got a stomach bug, we were finally out of La Paz and back in Ballandra Bay.

Sea turtles!
2009-04-07

Saling without wind
2009-04-07; There was the slightest breeze on the morning of Shawn's birthday and we decided to make a break for Isla San Francisco. After painstakingly slowly beating out of our anchorage and then bob-sailing for a few hours, we turned the Yanmar on and made way to our destination. Dolphins rode in our bow waves and we could see electric blue sucker fish on their backs, but couldn't get the camera quickly enough.

Full moon
2009-04-07; We anchored on the less popular and uninhabited east side of Isla SF for the night.

Shawn's b-day
2009-04-07; Thanks for such a feast Julia!

Hammock time
2009-04-08; The double hammock that we bought on a previous trip to Mexico has been invaluable!

Hike on Isla SF
2009-04-08

Looking south
2009-04-08; We hiked to the north end of the island and here you can see the south end, with The Hook an always full anchorage at the SW side and the anchorage we're in just opposite it on the SE side of Isla San Francisco.

Looking north
2009-04-08; Just north of Isla SF is a small rock jumble called Islan Coyote with one of the oldest villages in Baja on it and great snorkeling! Just north of that is Isla San Jose where we spent lots of time.

Scheherazade
2009-04-09; Photo shoot with Scheherazade on our way to Isla Coyote for some snorkel time.

Tao
2009-04-08; Sailing to anchor at Isla Coyote.

2009-04-09

Daysail
2009-04-10; We sailed north around the spit from south of Isla San Jose into Bahia Amortajada.

San Jose Mangroves
2009-04-10; Tao and Pisces crews checked out the mangroves that connect Bahia Amortajada and the south end of Isla San Jose from Eeyore. Notice who is driving- Jacob you love Seahor!

Now you see us
2009-04-10

Now you don't
2009-04-10; The cutest diving duck schools ever!

Pisces south of San Jose
2009-04-11; After an amazing day of exploring the mangroves and a beautiful sunset, the winds picked up from a very unfavorable direction requiring us to weigh anchor and motor around the point to get protection. We waited for the moon to rise so we cold sort of see, but thankfully Pisces has radar. This is the next morning and the walls of Baja look very remeniscent of the Grand Canyon, eh?

Puffer fish
2009-04-10; There are puffer fish of all types everywhere, literally!

Hanging out
2009-04-12; Hunkering down for a norther at Isla San Jose

Beat to Evaristo
2009-04-13; The norther finally abated and we beat up the San Jose Channel to San Evaristo and joined the throngs of people who had weathered the norther there.

Tao
2009-04-13; Tao making her way into Evaristo. Pictures a la Scheherazade.

SPOT
2009-04-14; This is the only picture we have of SPOT. We put him out once we were underway after a very unrestful night spent at the busy San Evaristo.

North down wind
2009-04-14; Happy birthday Chuck! We had an amazing 8 hours of spinnaker headed north to Auga Verde!

Working the spinnaker
2009-04-14; We got a bit too close to the shadow of Isla San Jose and had to jibe the spinnaker a couple of times.

Happy Chris
2009-04-14; Chris loves the spinnaker. Shawn is glad that it is a storm spinnaker.

Agua Verde sunset
2009-04-14; After a long day of sailing we were ready for a good night of sleep in this beautiful anchorage.

Pisces in Auga Verde
2009-04-15; Although we had been actively attempting to avoid the crowds we ended up heading north at exactly the same time that everyone trying to get to Escondito for the Loreto festival. Since Agua Verded was packed, we headed out at first light in the morning for a beatiful sail, fueled by winds on the Outside. Beautiful!

Lucky lure chomped!
2009-04-15; Didn't catch much once the lure got chomped off!

Sea berth
2009-04-15; Grizzly taking a nap in the sea berth with the drifter. We had a range of sailing from double reefed to drifter on this sail.

Eastern Isla Carmen
2009-04-16; One of several hikes we took as we waited out another northern while anchored at Punta Perico on the SE side of Isla Carmen. Check out the geomorphology in action!

Hitchhiker
2009-04-16

Perico snorkeling
2009-04-19; After several days hunkered down through a norther, the winds started to abate and we ventured out to the point with in Eeyore with Scheherazade for some great snorkel and rock jumping time.

Scheherazade
2009-04-19; Noah, Alex and Virgil

Pizza!
2009-04-19; We had so much fun waiting out the norther at Punta Perico with Pisces and Scheherazade. Shawn made pizza dough and then the girls did yoga while waiting for it to rise while the boys and Virgil went hiking.

Potluck on Tao
2009-04-19; Each boat got to create a pizza for the post girls yoga/ boys hike get together on Tao.

Bahia Salinas
2009-04-20; Immediately after leaving Punta Perico we ripped our 100% jib. Up went the 80% and we sailed to anchor just across the bay from Perico at Salinas to figure out a plan.

Salinas
2009-04-20; Pisces and Scheherazade joined us.

Salinas hike
2009-04-20; Beautiful beach!

Abandoned salt mines
2009-04-20; There was a little abandoned salt mining community that is now being turned into a vacation/getaway place.

Salty lake!
2009-04-20; It became obvious why our lines were so salt encrusted after hunkering down through the norther that blew across this salty land!

Salty!
2009-04-20; The salt was amazing!

Abandoned salt mine
2009-04-20; You can see the abandoned mine in the background and the salty shores.

2009-04-21; Thank you so much for sharing all of your sail repair knowledge with us Jacob! And of course for busting out your SailRite for the really thick stuff!!

Salinas shipwreck
2009-04-22

North end of Isla Carmen
2009-04-22; It was quite a slow sail out of Bahia Salinas but we finally got some great wing-on-wing winds at the north end of the island to push us to a late St. Patty's Day corned beef, cabbage, and potato dinner with Pisces.

Sunrise sailing
2009-04-23; We pushed off for Loreto while the stars were still bright and used the wind until it went away just after sunrise.

Loreto sunrise
2009-04-24; We had wonderful weather and were actually able to stay a night anchored off Loreto.

Griz Vet Visit
2009-04-24; We had to get Grizzly her annual rabies shot while we were in Mexico at least 30 days before leaving. We had heard there was a Vet in Loreto, so we had that adventure there. After the ride to shore in Eeyore, Griz rode across town in her backpack carry case on Shawn's back on the folding bike. She's a little champion!

Weighing anchor
2009-04-24; Don't worry, she's just stretching the legs, usually Shawn bends the legs to save her back and when it actually gets heavy, the windlass is invaluable!

Veggies a la Loreto
2009-04-24; Shawn cleaned and then dried all the fruits and veggies purchased in Loreto during the sail to Los Coronados.

Anchoring system
2009-04-24; This is what the foredeck looks like when we are sailing into an anchorage prepared to quickly drop anchor.

Los Coronados
2009-04-25; Beautiful shallow water!

Los Coronados
2009-04-25; Pisces, Sheherazade and Tao all hiked up to the "crater" at the top of Los Coronados. This is looking SW toward mainland and Loreto. We stayed anchored in the SW bight for several days.

Post hike
2009-04-25; After hiking up to the crater and back, we were ready for some relaxation!

Potluck on the beach
2009-04-25; Team Young plus La Cadencia had a four couple fun potluck with each couple member sharing the quick life story of their partner.

Yoga
2009-04-26; Our biggest yoga class yet, 7 people!

Mating skates
2009-04-27; Pisces took the slight south breeze and headed north and we went snorkeling with Scheherazade. We even got to see mating skates at the little Isla Coronados.

Snorkelfest
2009-04-27; We zipped around in Scheherazade's little dinghy with a big engine to the north end of Isla Coronado to see deep water fish, the little Coronado to see mating skates and then back to the boats for pizza and early Chris b-day celebration.

San Juanico
2009-04-28; It was a long passage with very little wind. We got to San Juanico just as the sun was lowering and having connected with Pisces via VHF, decided to fire up the engine to motor in windless dusk for a reunion in La Ramada just north of San Juanico.

Caleta Ramada
2009-04-29; Morning fog? Dawn revealed fog just off shore of the peninsula, seemed like a good reason to stay put for a while and enjoy the area.

San Juanico Snorkeling
2009-04-29; We hiked with Pisces from La Ramada over to San Juanico where we had an awesome snorkel among very interesting geology with eels, sea fans, rays, and many different sea stars.

Cruisers Shrine
2009-04-29; We balanced rocks at the Cruisers Shrine- Chris won with the biggest rock, yay Jaquette Cousteau!

Speedy Pesky
2009-04-29; Faster than a speeding bullet, Pesky tries out Seahor. Look at them plane!

Fatty Knees
2009-04-29; Oh for the space to have all the toys... Pesky fits just perfectly in Eeyore's spot. Could there be room for both?

Punta Pulpito
2009-05-02; A quick sail from La Ramada to Punta Pulpito and Chris managed to catch (and safely release) a shark!

Rocky shore
2009-05-03; Punta Pulpito's rocky shore was where we started our hike.

Obsidian!
2009-05-03; Look how big a chunk of obsidian that is!

Contemplation
2009-05-03; See Tao and Pisces in the bay?

Agua
2009-05-03; Looking northward from the SW edge of the peak.

Post hike snorkeling
2009-05-03; We went out to check out the rock noted in our chartbook but the water was not clear enough to see much.

Reef snorkel
2009-05-03; We snorkeled between different rock bands in this reef which had water flowing quickly between them. Shawn was nervous they might meet the shark they had caught near here the day previous but luckily there were no shark sitings.

Dawn sail
2009-05-05; Pisces left a day prior and we stayed to lounge, cook blue corn tortillas, and update our ongoing priority list sailing off anchor on the Cinco de Mayo to continue northward.

Chris and Griz
2009-05-05; Griz making sure that Chris is sailing okay.

Shelter?
2009-05-05; It finally got HOT in the Sea. We don't have any sun protection for under sail yet, we're working on it...

Concepcion Sunset
2009-05-05; The sun set a brilliant red as we neared the entrance to Bahia Concepcion.

Concepcion Sunset
2009-05-05

Coyote Bay
2009-05-06; The moon was bright, so we decided to enter Bahia Concepcion instead of standing off until morning and attempt to anchor in Santa Domingo. We sailed on the slightest of breezes all night but lost all wind as we were approaching in anchorage and aborted that plan as we were getting moved by current the wrong direction. We tacked back to safety and slowly inched toward the inner bay all night long. With the sun came a nice little breeze to scoot us into our destination.

Bahia Concepcion
2009-05-07; Relaxing and recovering at anchor.

Navigator Griz
2009-05-07; Griz at the navigation station with a chart of Bahia Concepcion, tide charts, sextant, hand bearing compass, EPIRB, and VHF. She's got it all figured out!

Clamming Reef
2009-05-07; This reef that we so diligently avoided upon entry had the most delectable clams!

Dinner
2009-05-07; Sundried tomato alfredo sauce, linguine, and butter clams

Whale or Shark?
2009-05-07; Chris and Jacob snorkeling with the whale shark.

Whaleshark
2009-05-07; This is just the whaleshark's head. Check out how big it is next to our dinghy tube!

Simbiosis
2009-05-07; See the pilot fish on it's head?

Tell tale fin
2009-05-07; The fin is the tell tale mark of the docile and huge whaleshark- largest fish growing to 45 feet in length!

Santa Barbara sunrise
2009-05-09; Bahia Santa Barbara was very isolated compared to other anchorages in Coyote Bay.

Light wind sail on Tao
2009-05-11; After a few days of eating and swimming and relaxing, we took Julia and Jacob for a light wind sail on Tao.

Julia and Griz
2009-05-11; Cooling off on the cabin sole.

Getting towed
2009-05-11; We sailed back onto anchor in Bahia Santa Barbara with Julia and Jacob trailing behind us in Eeyore.

Pisces heavy weather sail
2009-05-12; We joined Pisces for a 25 knot sailing day and got to play with lots of sails on their cutter rig.

Sail on Pisces
2009-05-12; After getting chased out of Bahia Santa Barbara by on shore winds and building swell, we reanchored at the north end of Coyote Bay in Santispac and went for a brisk sail on Pisces.

Multiple sails
2009-05-12; It was really fun to sail a different boat. They have so much more space and a cutter rig seems to have lots more sails. Pisces handled the fairly heavy weather with aplomb although she didn't like the light wind tacking as much later in the evening.

Tacking Pisces
2009-05-12; Tacking Pisces is definitely more work that tacking Tao.

Pesky shuttle
2009-05-12; We definitely could have fit you into Pesky with the three of us too Jacob!

Back to the Sea
2009-05-14; After playing for two weeks in Conception Bay with Pisces swimming with whalesharks, having clamfests, checking out different anchorages, meeting Geary the weather guy and getting 5-gallon loads of fresh water in El Burro Cove, and traveling to Mulege for fresh food, we finally decided to escape the heat of Bahia Concepcion and head back out into the Sea.

Fog outside concepcion
2009-05-15; The whole time we had been in Bahia Concepcion the Sea had been plagued by morning fog and the next morning as we awoke anchored in Santa Domingo at the mouth of the bay, it was no different. But with the fog came our friends on Outcast!

Cabrillo?
2009-05-15; Does anyone know what type of fish this is?

Outcast
2009-05-15; As things in the cruising life style are, it was fortuitous that we got to meet up with Outcast (a crew of 3 awesome young energetic guys who we met in La Paz) again at the mouth of Concepcion. Over cereal a plan was hatched to buddy boat to Bahia San Francisquito. The winds didn't hold and after a slow night sail together with a failed attempted midnight cookie exchange, the Outcast crew decided to turn east and head to Guaymas.

Mexican tuna is OK too
2009-05-16; This trip has given Grizzly a new excitement about fish- even from a can!

Adios Baja!
2009-05-16; After Outcast headed across we spent another day attempting to head toward Bahia San Francisquito. We slowly bobbed our way in the baking sun and little to no wind and just before sunset we turned eastward as forecast winds started filling in from the west. This was our last Baja sunset for a while...

Off watch
2009-05-16; Chris and Grizzly both missed the last sunset while down below catching rest for the crossing.

Mainland sunrise
2009-05-17; Our first mainland Mexico sunrise. We had a most beautiful crossing with mellow westerly winds at our backs and very little moon allowing stars to jump out at us as we flew across the sea toward mainland.

Double fish on!
2009-05-17; Fresh bonito for dinner!

Bonito on!
2009-05-17

Thank You Mother Ocean!
2009-05-17; We let one go and kept another for dinner, turning on the refrigerator to keep what we couldn't eat cold for sharing later.

Approaching mainland
2009-05-17; Not quite ready for the craziness of mainland, we headed north a bit to Bahia San Pedro.

Tao sailing into San Pedro
2009-05-17; Isal San Pedro where we got the double catch is in the background.

Rocky our anchor
2009-05-17; Rocky was one of the best buys we made before leaving the Bay Area! He was ready to hold us tight for another couple nights and even held us after we had to move across the bay the second night seeking protection from incoming swell.

Bahia San Carlos
2009-05-19; We spent a week or so anchored in Bahia San Carlos, researching options for hauling out, organizing our selves for a few months away from the boat.

Bonito yumminess
2009-05-19; We made a final feast of the bonito- adding tequilla, soy sauce and lemon to onion, apple and crackers all wrapped in tin foil and thrown on the grill- it was delicious!

Using up the flour
2009-05-23; This was a sesame, almond, honey wheat loaf.

Olive sesame loaf
2009-05-27

Group dinner on Plume
2009-05-26; Plume (who we met in Ensenada), Pisces (who we met in Catalina Harbor), and Tao- all hailing from the Bay Area had a couple wonderful dinners on Plume during all the craziness of closing up our boats.

One night slip
2009-05-28; We took a slip for one night to wash down everything with fresh water and start the organization before hauling out.

We exploded
2009-05-28; All of our gear, lines, sails, etc. came out onto the dock for wash down

Wash line
2009-05-28; We created a five bucket (these flexible buckets have been very helpful on board) wash line and trudged through it- Chris' shin injury and all!

Grizzly amoung drying sails
2009-05-28; Grizzly put up with the mess and was very interested in the dock!

Haul out
2009-05-29; We were hauled out by a tractor and a "low boy" trailer. They did actually do a little damage to the cutaway part of our keel on the first attempt.

Ride to dry storage
2009-05-29; The tractor pushed us backwards a half mile down the road to Marina Seca where we planned to do a week of closing down work and then have Tao dry stored.

Prop or Barnacle House?
2009-05-29; We really didn't use our propeller very much putting less than 40 hours total on our engine. We easily scraped these guys off before they dried.

Tao on hurricane posts
2009-06-02; The list of tasks increased and the amount of days we had decreased as the only ride we could find with Grizzly was leaving two full days before our planned departure date. With help from Plume and a ride north Pura Vida it was a rushed but relatively smooth transition. This is Tao sitting on her hurricane posts, wrapped in reflective tin foil, through hulls plugged, etc. for several months on the hard in the Sonoran desert. Time to rest and dry out!

Pacific Ocean: San Francisco to Cabo San Lucas

Tao chomping to go!
2008-11-14; The night before we left we were still running around. We bought the Seahorse that day and were making a place to store him, and we used the spinnaker halyard to lift Eeyore on deck for the first time... Tao was chomping at the bit, ready to sail!

Sunrise, problems already?
2008-11-15; We left the dock with a rare east breeze. Wind from this direction always made it difficult to get out of the slip, and this was no different. Dave from Moonshadow buddy boating out past the Gate with us came over to help us off. Leaving the harbor was strange in the dark- should've practiced more while the sun was down. The worst of it, though, as the sun started to rise, our bilge alarm sounded- we were sinking! It turns out that there was water left over from our last freshwater washdown and the automatic bilge pumped us out, but it made us wonder, are we really ready?!

Goodbye Berkeley!
2008-11-15; The sun rose beautifully as this rare east breeze urged us downwind out to the Golden Gate.

Past the GG
2008-11-15; Out past the Golden Gate, we're off!

Past the Gate
2008-11-15; We made it out past the Golden Gate! The winds are great for heading south so we skipped the Farallon Islands for now and took a left.

Outside the south bay
2008-11-15; Finally on our way south, we watched for our favorite surf breaks from the water.

Stillwater Cove
2008-11-16; We made it through our first overnight passage with beautiful downwind conditions. Winds dissappeared and we awaited the sun and then dissipating fog to enter this unique cove located just off of the 18th green of Pebble Beach.

Post passage
2008-11-17; Overnight passages sure wear out Grizzly too!

HAM contact
2008-11-17; After a night of sleep to for us to recover, Chris' made his first HAM radio contact.

Auto helm?
2008-11-17; After leaving Stillwater Cove, we sailed with a pod of dolphin and then just before sunset, the winds dissappeared. After firing up the engine, this is Chris setting our "auto helm." It's not really an auto helm and needs near constant adjustment. Put it on the wish list, until then, we just won't motor unless we have to.

Night at sea
2008-11-17; Another night at sea heading south toward San Luis Obispo.

Foggy night at sea
2008-11-18; As we sailed along the Coastal Mountains we saw whales migrating and one breeched of our stern. As fog rolled in, our daydreams of safe harbor vanished. We ended up heaving to before sunset for a couple hours of rest to slow our progress so we didn't reach Point Arguello or Point Conception before daybreak. Around midnight, we started movement south again and sailed all night in the fog.

Big breakfast before Point Conception
2008-11-19; Nervous for the passage around the infamous Point Arguello and Point Conception, we ate a big breakfast to prepare.

Bracing for Point Conception
2008-11-19; The sun rose and we were still in a thin fog, but visibility was fair. As we approached Point Arguello, past the municians sites and oil rigs, the winds increased from 20 to 30 knots. We dropped the main and continued sailing under 100% jib alone.

Success!!
2008-11-19; We broke through the fog and exited windy lane as we rounded Point Arguello and then Point Conception. We celebrated, unbelievably happy that we had Moni, our Monitor windvane steering for us.

Big waves
2008-11-19; The waves kicked up with the wind to about 6 foot breaking swells- it is difficult to capture on film. We had our first real surfing with Tao rounding Point Conception.

Celebration!
2008-11-19; Three nights at sea and one night at anchor later, we rounded Point Conception and anchored in Cojo anchorage right next to a famous surf break only accessible by boat.

Checking the surf
2008-11-19; Checking out the surf with the binoculars.

The navigator
2008-11-21; Grizzly spent a lot of her time helping us navigate.

Point Conception Sunset
2008-11-20; Sunset off Point Conception

First surf of trip
2008-11-21; Chris nearly immediately took Eeyore, an anchor, and his surfboard to catch some rides.

Surf machine
2008-11-22; We spent 4 blissful nights here enjoying the surf, recovering, painting, and being proud to have accomplished what has often been touted as the most difficult part of our planned cruise (boy was that a myth!).

Surfs up
2008-11-22; It was never huge, but it was breaking enough to surf without drawing crowds of other surfers. A dream come true for Chris!

First time off the boat
2008-11-22; After a few days of watching how the boat layed on her anchor here, Shawn finally took a spin with Chris in Eeyore to see the surrounding areas.

Cojo Bay Sunrise
2008-11-21; Waking up frequently for anchor watches to check the boat, we caught a beautiful sunrise.

Sunrise at Sea
2008-11-24; The morning of the 23rd we awoke to lee shore conditions. Our blissful stay here was over. We waited, hopeful that conditions would improve, but as the day wore on, the swell coming into the anchorage and pushing us toward the shore only increased and we hung a few hundred yards off shore. Late afternoon, we finally weighed anchor- one of the scariest points of our adventures thus far. We had the engine on and the sails up. Shawn was at the bow cranking in the anchor rhode and chain with our maual windlass. Chris was at the helm ready to gun it at Shawns call that the anchor was free. We didn't have much room to err as the wind and swell was pushing us ashore. Besides the stress of it, Tao although underpowered by engine, handled it brilliantly and we settled in for a beat toward Santa Barbara.

Santa Rosa Sunset
2008-11-24; The southerly weather that had blown into Cojo Anchorage was still raging as we anchored in the lee of Santa Cruz in Christies Anchorage as the sun set the next evening.

Christies Anchorage Santa Cruz Island
2008-11-24; Christies Anchorage on the northern end of Santa Cruz Island, currently protected from the southern winds.

Santa Rosa Sunset
2008-11-24

Santa Rosa
2008-11-24; We watched weather blow through as the sun set over Santa Rosa Island.

Santa Rosa
2008-11-25; Sunset over Santa Rosa was beautiful the following evening as well after a fitful day of squally weather in Christies anchorage.

Weighing Anchor
2008-11-26; The weather forecasted a shift from the southerly squally conditions back to more normal northerly conditions. Time to head to the other side of the island to seek protection. The weather sysetm created beautiful clouds!

Trawler off Hazards Anchorage
2008-11-27; Fluky winds only allowed us to make it to the middle of the eastern side of Santa Cruz. Although the more protected anchorage we were hoping to stop at was already occupied, we thought, no problem, we'll just anchor at Hazards Anchorage just north of it. We should have guessed from the name... For some reason, we couldn't get the anchor well set, so we weighed anchor and attempted to set it 3 times. The sun was setting and the third try our engine sputtered out and refused to restart. Over the next few hours Chris bled the lines, got the engine to restart and we settled in for a dark, sleepless, rainy night at this spooky anchorage as trawlers were in full force with the moonless night.

Sail down eastern Santa Cruz
2008-11-27; The next morning we had a beautiful sail south down the eastern side of Santa Cruz Island. We were able to get a small amount of cell service and quickly called our families to wish them Happy Thanksgiving.

Chris and the 'nocs
2008-11-27; Chris checking out the shoreline for different anchorages with our sweet binoculars.

Fog over Santa Cruz
2008-11-27; Fog creeping over Santa Cruz Island

Smugglers Cove
2008-11-27; This anchorage was empty and would provide needed protection from the forecast northerly winds. We sailed onto anchor for the first time ever here and set out lots of scope.

Happy Thanksgiving!
2008-11-27; We celebrated with a full Thanksgiving dinner, minus the turkey at this beautiful deserted anchorage Smugglers Cove, located at the southwest end of Santa Cruz Island.

Illusive Anacapa
2008-11-28; Sunset over Anacapa Island just south of our anchorage. We couldn't always see it because strong winds blew fog through the Anacapa Channel between us on Santa Cruz and Anacapa Island.

First trip ashore
2008-11-29; We ventured ashore and had a great first beach landing through the surf. We hiked up and over the island to Little Scorpion Anchorage on the south east side. When we got back, Tao was no longer alone, Smugglers Cove was filling up with other boats.

Prop wrap lesson
2008-11-30; Smugglers Cove was packed by the time we weighed anchor to head south. We hoped to get to Anacapa, but the fog was rolling through the channel. Still, when it cleared for a moment we decided to take the chance and headed across. The winds were very strong from the NE and whistled over the top of Anacapa Island. We made our way to the Fish Camp anchorage in the middle of the western side of the island. The island drops off, so you have to get quite close to find depths to anchor in. At Shawn's request, we started the engine and motored in to check out the area. After several go rounds, we finally decided where to anchor. As Chris backed down to set the anchor, Eeyore's painter got wrapped in the prop. As we were set, he immediately donned his wetsuit, dove in and freed the mangled painter, and attached a new one. Ever since, we pull Eeyore in close when motoring to anchor.

Frenchy's Cove
2008-11-30; A beautiful and eerily deserted anchorage the sun set beautifully and Jupiter and Venus rose right next to the sliver of moon just next to this cliff as the winds whistled over the island pushing us offshore all night long.

Frenchy's Cove
2008-12-01; Happy December! After a night anchored with strong winds blowing, when the sun rose, Chris jumped in Eeyore and motored along the Anacapa shore seeing loads of nesting pelicans. Shawn stayed aboard Tao, just in case...

Chris pensive
2008-12-01; Anacapa has always drawn Chris and he was sad to see it reced into the distance as we sailed away that afternoon. With the wind conditions, it was unsafe to anchor and go ashore at the island's visitor center on the south end.

Goodbye Anacapa!
2008-12-01; We were happy to have gotten to spend a night next to Anacapa, and looked forward to heading south again. We crossed the shipping lanes and closer to mainland found cell service. After connecting with his mother Jane, Chris realized they were currently vacationing in Santa Barbara. We decided to turn around and head north to visit her and again found ourselves beating toward Santa Barbara.

Ventura reunion
2008-12-02; After a harrowing foggy night entrance into a treacherous harbor entrance, Thanks to Jane, we were able to afford a slip in Ventura Harbor for a few days of recovery and visiting after our first two exciting weeks of sailing.

Ventura Sail
2008-12-04; We took Jane out for a sail (although she did all the work at the helm the whole time!) a couple days later.

Ventura Harbor Entrance
2008-12-04; Seeing the treacherous harbor entrance we thanked our lucky stars that our GPS unit, navigational skills, and engine were all spot on the night of our foggy entry.

Stacey Pribanic!!!
2008-12-05; Shawn was able to reunite with Stacey Pribanic a great friend from way back in Ithaca.

Ventura Stacey
2008-12-05; It was so special to reconnect!

Surfs up in Ventura
2008-12-05; Stacey is a surfer now and has a sweet pad with a break just outside. While Stacey and Shawn visited, Chris got in a quick session in pretty small but fun surf.

Ventura Sunset
2008-12-06; Ventura Harbor had some beautiful sunsets as well as a lovely smell when the winds blew offshore over the mushroom farms. It was a great place to recover, reprovision, and fix a few things (port forward toe rail and mainsail brake).

Southern Cal Coast
2008-12-07; Pushing off from the safety of a dock was difficult, but once we were underway it was a beautiful downwind sail along a coast that Chris is very familiar with from shore.

Familiar coast
2008-12-07; Chris was really excited to show Shawn all the coastal features and surf breaks that he was familiar with from shore as we sailed by.

Paradise Cove
2008-12-07, Paradise Cove in Malibu. We sailed onto anchor here at this kelp filled surf break.

Shawn in sea berth
2008-12-07; Shawn was so tired when we set the hook, she immediately took a nap in the sea berth.

Paradise Sunset
2008-12-07; We were welcomed to Malibu by a beautiful setting sun.

Surfs up at Paradise
2008-12-08; Chris immediately headed out and caught some epic surf at this difficult to get to break.

Shawn's aboard
2008-12-08; Shawn stayed aboard just in case while Chris caught some great surfing.

Paradise Sunset
2008-12-08; Coming in from surfing at sunset.

Paradise Sunset
2008-12-08; The sunset just kept turning colors.

Paradise Sunrise
2008-12-09; Time to head south to visit Chris' father Dave nearly a month later than originally envisioned.

Santa Monica Bay
2008-12-09; It was a slow but beautiful sail across Santa Monica Bay. We were able to hang the hammock and enjoy it while underway.

Redondo Beach Harbor
2008-12-09; We set a bow-n-stern anchor just inside the breakwall at Redondo Beach Harbor. The Harbor Patrol was very nice and acommodating here, it was a pleasure to stay there for 11 days of Christmasy madness.

Rob aka "Man"
2008-12-10; Shawn finally got to meet one of Chris' early childhood friends. Rob came over and had dinner onboard in Redondo beach. He is hilarious!

Xmas gale
2008-12-13; Nearly every day we visited Dave and ran shoreside errands during the day and returned to the boat (freshly pooped on by the harbor egrets) and Grizzly for the nights. On this evening, there was a boat show of lights scheduled. Because of an ill-timed gale, the harbor patrol cancelled it (and asked us to move onto a bow-n-stern mooring just next to where wer were anchored just in case), but a few hardy sailors still toured the fairway ablaze with Holiday lights.

Bruch with Ledy & Angie
2008-12-14; We had brunch with Ledy and Angie. It was so special to show you the boat!

Shawn & Griz
2008-12-19; Grizzly is such a night cuddler!

Merry Christmas a few days early
2008-12-18; Dave and Anette were very sweet flowing with our changing schedule. We had a between Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey feast and many other yummy meals with them. It was great to see you both during the holidays and thanks for all your help!

Redondo Sunrise
2008-12-20; Time to move again. We had stretched our 3-day alloted anchoring time to 11 and were eager to continue south.

Sunset becalmed
2008-12-20; We had a slow sail out from Redondo beach away from Palos Verdes peninsula where Dave and Anette live. We eeked our way across the shipping lanes trying out our new drifter, just purchased at Minney's, for the first time. As the sun set, the minute breeze left us and we spent the night slowly bobbing and floating in sea lion biolumenescent wakes toward Santa Catalina Island.

Cat Harbor entrance
2008-12-21; The next morning, we made our way slowly into Cat Harbor, the most protected anchorage on the south side of Catalina Island.

Chris naps
2008-12-21; After our passage and having safely set our anchor, Chris caught up on some sleep in the sea berth. Shawn stayed awake to see how we settled onto our anchor.

Family Shot
2008-12-22; Family picture

Winter weather
2008-12-22; Winter weather settled in with clouds and rain. There was a forecast storm following in a few days from the south- the one direction Cat Harbor is unprotected in this outer anchorage, so we decided to set a stern anchor as well.

Venturing ashore
2008-12-22; After monitoring how Tao rode the gusty winds on bow-n-stern anchors, we ventured ashore.

Tao is beautiful!
2008-12-22

Suns out again
2008-12-22

Grizzly warming up
2008-12-22; Even though the sun was out again, it was pretty cold. Grizzly opted for the sleeping bag next to the deisel heating stove.

Hanging shelf
2008-12-22; Grizzly is watching the outside world through the porthole next to her hanging shelf that Chris built for her. She uses this spot most often when it is cold as it is one of the warmer spots on the boat.

Cat sunrise
2008-12-23; A beautiful pre Christmas Eve sunrise

Hike on western end
2008-12-23; We hiked from the north side up and around to the south side on the western end of Catalina Island. Beautiful views!

Storm's brewing
2008-12-24; Christmas Eve morning sunrise. The forecast storm sysetm is approaching.

Bow-n-stern
2008-12-24; We were sad to leave our sweet isolated anchorage to visit the busy mooring field inside the harbor.

Checking the scene
2008-12-24; We decided to take a mooring to weather the storm forecast for Christmas bringing 50 knot winds directly into Cat Harbor. We would have liked to weather it on anchor, but all of the most protected areas around Catalina Island have been filled with moorings. So we took a cheap week rate and enjoyed the safety of this section of the harbor. We went out in Eeyore to check out the swell where we'd been previously anchored and it would have indeed been uncomfortable, although we would likely have been fine.

Shortbread cookies
2008-12-25; Merry Christmas! A very expensive store ashore had butter, so we were able to make some cookies, yum!

Our "tree"
2008-12-25; Grizzly inspected the presents at the base of our "tree" aka our mast.

Cookie dough?!
2008-12-25. The butter was integral in making Chris a fresh batch of raw cookie dough.

Aftermath
2008-12-25; Post gift opening mayhem.

Griz exploring
2008-12-25; Grizzly exploring our mooring.

"Quick" project
2008-12-25; Chris decided to do a "quick" project on Christmas night. Although it made us late for drinks with some fellow boaters, it sure made our water taste better to have new hoses installed!

s/v Pisces
2008-12-27; Christmas night we met Julia and Jacob from s/v Pisces. They turned out to be very like-minded sailors also on their way south from SF Bay, also late season. We spent Boxing Day together having homemade soup on Pisces and then Tao, fast friends showing each other our boats and sharing all sorts of thoughts about our adventures. They left the next day to head to San Diego for final preperations and it took us several months to finally catch back up with them.

Catalina Bison
2008-12-27; Yes, it is a bison! They were brought to Catalina Island for a movie and have been here ever since roaming the island.

Mt. Orizaba
2008-12-28; We did a beautiful 25-mile hike from Two Harbors up the north east side of Catalina Island to the airport in the sky, up Mount Orizaba, and back to Two Harbors via Rancho Escondito and Little Harbor. It was amazing although rough on our legs!

Shawn and Little Harbor
2008-12-28; The last leg of our 25-mile day was straight up from Little Harbor to walk the rim. It was tiring but well worth it!

Chris near the top
2008-12-28; Looking northwest toward Cat Harbor where we could put up our feet.

Almost there!
2008-12-28; Looking southeast, almost to the top of the incline. These islands are steep!

Tao sailing out of Cat Harbor
2008-12-31; One of our friends took these photos as we sailed off our mooring and away from the holiday busy Catalina Harbor.

Sailing out of Cat Harbor
2008-12-31; Sailing out of Cat Harbor

Into the fog
2008-12-31; Luckily the fog was in and out. We were able to sail to beautiful Little Harbor.

Goodbye Cat Harbor!
2008-12-31; The fog rolled in and out on this light wind New Year's Eve day.

Little Harbor
2009-01-01; Happy New Year! Slightly remeniscent of Stillwater Cove, we rung in 2009 here and Shawn learned not to make rice with salt water. It was pretty tight, so we set both a bow and a stern anchor.

Little Harbor
2009-01-01; We spent two nights anchored behind a rock reef that broke the swell in this beautiful isolated little spot.

Whites Landing
2009-01-03; We spent the night of the second here on the north side of the island- a good jumping off point for a one day crossing to mainland.

Griz on passage
2009-01-03; In the center of the boat and padded with great stuff to dig your claws into, this is one of Grizzly's favorite spots while we're on passage. Her other one is behind the port setee back where we store all of our covers.

Crossing to mainland
2009-01-03; We had a beautiful crossing to re-enter civilization. With winds that forced us to tack through the shipping lane, we used the engine for an hour to get to the other side and had a beautiful rest of the passage under sail.

Welcome to mainland!
2009-01-03; Dolphins, rainbows, and beautiful sunset welcomed us to mainland.

NBH Sunset
2009-01-03; The sunset just as we were entering Newport Beach Harbor.

NBH sunset
2009-01-03; Beautiful!

NBH anchorage
2009-01-05; We had no idea how huge Newport Beach Harbor is! It was dark by the time we found the anchorage and set the hook. After several days of anchorage schenanigans (having to move 3 times in 2 days) we took a $5/day bow and stern mooring for the rest of our final US stay.

Family sail
2009-01-07; We took Jane and her sister (Chris' Aunt Beth) and her family out for a day sail. Karl had worked at the harbor patrol in Newport Beach Harbor. Dolphins came out and swam in our bow waves and everyone went forward to see the site! Thanks for coming out with us!

Griz

NBH visit
2009-01-19; Thanks for visiting us Angie and Jane!

Kitten love
2009-01-24; Grizzly sure does put up with a lot from us! We love her and she is the best sail cat ever!

Southbound
2009-01-26; After spending an extra week in Newport Beach Harbor to receive our documentation and our solar panel, we finally pushed off again after one last night in the anchorage and one final wash down, and pump out. Next stop, Mexico!!

Southern Cal
2009-01-26; It was a beautiful day to start moving south.

Last US sunset
2009-01-26; As the sun set and Chris' Canyons hat was lost to the Ocean, we came about to search for it and got buzzed by a boarder patrol helicopter. Sometime after the light faded, we passed into Mexican waters.

Mexico!
2009-01-27; Shawn was very excited to be in Mexico

Cruisin'
2009-01-27; Chris was loving the speedy passage as the winds pushed us so fast we almost (but not quite) made it to Ensenada before dark.

Mexico sunset
2009-01-27; Strange weather had pushed us surprisingly quickly to Ensenada, so we decided to stop there for our check in to the country.

Mexican flag envy
2009-01-28; Happy birthday Dad/Ken! We awoke to sounds of a busy Mexican harbor. Turns out that no one is allowed to anchor here any longer- you are required to take a slip and prove that you have paid the fee in order for appropriate paperwork to be processed.

Post passage bath
2009-01-28

Sailing again
2009-01-29; After one blissful forced night at the dock (and meeting Plume), we took off the next afternoon to continue south.

Sunrise under sail
2009-01-30; Beautiful!

Contact
2009-01-30, Chris made his first contact via HAM from Mexican waters. Notice the pressure point bands he's wearing on his wrists. He battled sea sickness often on the Outside.

Mexican sunrise
2009-01-31; The previous night is when we discovered that stars reflected on the water = no wind. We motored for several hours of this day.

Slowly under sail
2009-01-31; A light breeze finally filled in and we turned the engine off and set Moni to work. Grizzly checked out his steering cables.

Another MX sunset
2009-01-31; Preparing for another night at sea as we weren't going to be able to make it to one of our hoped for surf destinations by sunset. We continued south.

Double heads'l
2009-02-01; Flying toward Isla Cedros under double heads'l. Our 100% is poled out with our whisker pole to starboard and our drifter is poled out via our main boom to port.

Nice ride
2009-02-01; Grizzly came up on deck to see where we were and why we were going so fast.

Isla Cedros
2009-02-01

Rolly anchorage sunrise
2009-02-03; So used to hurrying, after one night at the NE anchorage on Isla Cedros, we moved on sailing to what turned out to be a very rolly night at anchor. Check out our blog to see the video (http://shawnchris.blogspot.com/2009/03/good-anchorage-bad-anchorage.html)- great learning experience!

Lobster for Chocolate
2009-02-04; After the night at the rolly anchorage, we headed back to the NE anchorage and set bow and stern anchors with our bow into the still cranking but reducing swell. Here we reassessed our goals and realized that we didn't need to rush by everything. We decided to stay here for a very enjoyable week in which we traded chocolates for huge lobster.

Pelican
2009-02-04

Cedros fish camp
2009-02-04; This little fish camp was the closest civilization to our anchorage. A few times every day pongas would come through and check the traps in our anchorage. Many times they would stop by to chat with us. They were very nice hardworking men.

Lighthouse hike
2009-02-04; We visited the fish camp and hiked through to get to the lighthouse. See it very tiny just above this cactus?

In bloom
2009-02-04

Elephant seals
2009-02-04; This island is covered by elephant seals. These males that we saw on our Lighthouse hike don't have a harem of females yet.

Elephant seal harem
2009-02-05; These elephant seals were just ashore from our boat. They are mostly females and babies with a few macho males. We got used to their boistrous calls.

Our compass?
2009-02-05: Chris is always working on something.

Griz in heaven
2009-02-05; Grizzly love lobster!

NE anchorage on Cedros
2009-02-05; We were hoping to hike up the canyon we could see from our boat, but there were too many aggressive elephant seals. So we looked for shells on this little rocky beach between two different seal harems.

Lobster?
2009-02-05; Grizzly helping Chris prepare lobster for dinner.

Cheers!
2009-02-05; Lobster and ceasar salad day-10. Yum!

Whale tail
2009-02-06; With all of our whale encounters, this is sadly the best picture we got of a whale. Can you see it's tail splashing as it dives?

Rolly anchorage take 2
2009-02-06; We were hoping to sail a bit further south to a natural hot spring, but the winds were light and we only made it as far as Rolly Anchorage. So, we sailed onto anchor and had a beautiful near full moonlit dinner on deck. No NE winds tonight, so perfectly calm. So glad we came back!

Rainbow, Isla Cedros
2009-02-07; We had hoped to hike up to the ridge and see the Ocean on the other side of the island, but we awoke to weather so decided to move along. As we sailed off of anchor this rainbow appeared. Breathtaking!

Sunny rainbow
2009-02-07; Our solar panel, Sunny and the rainbow

Grizzly playing
2009-02-07; Griz liked to play with the strings as they moved when we were sailing.

Cedros to Turtle Bay
2009-02-07; A tumultuously beautiful sail

Turtle Bay
2009-02-07; We made it and sailed onto anchor before sunset in this all weather and nearly deserted anchorage. This was our first fully no engine passage!

Sunrise in Turtle Bay
2009-02-08

Stormy TB
2009-02-08; The storm rolled through Turtle Bay and brought beautiful sun rises and sets and even another rainbow!

TB rainbow
2009-02-08

Full moon in TB
2009-02-09

TB anchorage
2009-02-10; We spent a few days here, bought fresh bread, updated our blog, and enjoyed the deserted little town.

Southbound again
2009-02-11; Storms were forcast to march through here so we took a little weather window and headed south paying close attention to our weather faxes.

Swell building
2009-02-11; A perfect sail out of Turtle Bay (after having a little trouble weighing anchor under sail) the swell started building. It was probably 6-8 here as the sun set.

Sunset 2/11
2009-02-11

Sunrise 2/12
IMGP6302.JPG 2009-02-12

Sea berth
2009-02-12; Chris and Grizzly napping in the sea berth as the sun rose. Soon after Chris got up to help decide whether to pull into Abreojos or San Juanico or continue on. Don, the HAM radio weather guru, was forecasting a low to get this far south creating southerlies this far south. That would turn it into a dangerous lee shore, so much to Chris' frustration (he gave up a premier surf locale!), we made the safe decision and stayed offshore continuing south.

Early sunset 2/12
2009-02-12

Shawn's watch
2009-02-12; Evening light on the sails, it was the start of an amazing watch.

Sunset 2/12
2009-02-12; With the swell still building, we flew south. The Pineapple Express (aka trade winds) had clouds trailing here for beautiful sunsets. As the waves built Shawn worried that it would become too much for our poled out 100% jib. We continually surfed down what in the morning became obvious to be 10 foot swells! Amazing watch!

Nearing Santa Maria
2009-02-13; We could have probably made it to Bahia Magdalena, similar to SF Bay only unpopulated. But we didn't want to push it and had heard wonderful stories from Pisces about this anchorage, so we pulled in.

Trawlers off Santa Maria
2009-02-13

Grizzly recovering
2009-02-13; Grizzly gets as worn out as we do after spending a couple nights rotating watches out at sea. She was already napping as we sailed onto anchor and made some really good friends here.

Mangroves
2009-02-14; We braved this surf with Eeyore and Seahor(se) (who ran out of gas at a most undesireable moment of entry) and just barely escaped flipping. Phew!

Santa Maria fish camp
2009-02-14; Bahia Santa Maria is a huge bay with miles of beaches, on the other side of which are forests of mangroves lining lagoons. We explored this one with new friends Nanu, Kalaleewa, and Andiamo.

Valentine Sunset
2009-02-14; Valentine sunset in Bahia Santa Maria

V-day lobster tacos
2009-02-14

Santa Maria hike
2009-02-15; Most everyone who had been waiting out the weather in the safety of Bahia Santa Maria took off and we had the bay almost to ourselves. We hiked up to the nearest high point and looked out at the swells on the Outside.

Santa Maria peak
2009-02-17; We hiked to the top of the tallest peak in this picture.

Shawn taking pictures
2009-02-15

Sunrise in Santa Maria
2009-02-16; Time to head out

Sunset 2/17
2009-02-17; In order to utilize the winds and not get caught in the forcasted lull, we pushed past Bahia Magdalena.

Sunset 2/17

2009-02-18

Sunrise 2/19
2009-02-19; Glad to have caught the winds we did, we now slowly approached Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo San Lucas
2009-02-19; We slowly sailed into Cabo San Lucas, teeming with people and boats and jetskis.

Grizzly recovering again
2009-02-19

Cabo craziness
2009-02-19; We had finally settled into our anchorage when a little powerboat full of kids dropped the hook right next to us. They took turns riding their jetskis around our boat. We had a cruise ship just outside of us, and managed to see an old America's Cup sailboat going by.

Flowers ashore
2009-02-20; We went ashore for a quick provision and ice cream stop.

Outfitting 2008

SF New Years

2007-12-30; This was the sunset during our New Year's sail ringing in 2008. It is also the image on our boat card.

Tao in Berkeley slip L232
2008-02-08; This is where most of our outfitting occurred. Luckily we had nice neighbors that didn't mind us blocking the dock fingers with gear. It was difficult to have to clean up every night and bring the tools out anew every morning, but worth it!

Varnishwork
2008-01-19; Varnishwork (and yes it is work!) is a constant battle. After stripping what was initially there, we added 6 coats of Schooner varnish to every wooded surface on the boat. It all currently needs to be redone.

Dorads
2008-02-08; Tao had 3 very small cowel vents when we bought her. We increased ventilation by installing larger cowel vents for all previous deck holes and adding two more 5-inch cowel vents atop dorad boxes. We then covered these with stainless guards which help to deter lines catching and are great handholds at sea.

3-week haul out
2008-03-14; We hauled out at the Berkeley Marine Center and lived and worked aboard for 3-weeks straight.

Through hulls
2008-03-18; We replaced all 8 of our through hulls with ball valves. This is Chris grinding the originals out. Yikes!

Rudder
2008-03-23; A few days after hauling out, Shawn noticed that our rudder was still weeping. Turns out it was waterlogged, so we went through a long process, drilling holes, drying it out, and finally impregnating it with epoxy. Now it is bomber!

Lazarette
2008-03-23; Chris spent lots of time squiched into our lazarette to work on restuffing the rudder box and the prop shaft as well as re-plumbing our cockpit drains, etc.

Bottom job
2008-03-25; Shawn did the entire bottom job from sanding to painting as well as re-leveling the bootstripe with the use of a laser level and our neighbor Frank from El Corazon.

Pulling the tape
2008-03-26; After three coats of antifouling bottom paint, pulling the blue tape was one of the most satisfying parts of the haul out.

Boot stripe
2008-03-29; Check out the sweet bootstripe just prior to blue tape removal. We raised it in the front about 2-inches and were crossing our fingers that when we put her back in the water it would look level! This is also a good picture of our cutaway keel.

Griz working hard
2008-03-27; Actually, Grizzly was doing a great job staying out of the way during our crazy 3-weeks on the hard.

Splash!
2008-04-03; Just in time for Shawn's birthday, we put Tao back in the water. Chris had to work at West Marine this morning, So Cree (owner of the BMC whose knowledge was amazingly helpful so we could do the work ourselves) helped Shawn during Tao's splash and stayed around to make sure all of our new through hulls held.

Bed extension
2008-04-19; Our double v-berth is slated to be filled with gear and our other double berth was just a tich too small with only one of us ever getting a good night of sleep, the other on the inside half under the port shelf. So, Maguiver-Chris extended our bed by making our table removable and adding runners for these slats. Now, unless we're in sea berths, we sleep cross wise with our heads to port in this swanky near queen-size bed (which is good because Grizzly uses at least half of it)!

V-berth
2008-04-21; Shawn scoured and painted the V-berth. It was supposed to be more of a sunflower color, but at least it lightened up the dark bow. Now it is so filled with gear, you can barely even see the yellow!

Galley sole
2008-04-21; Shawn also re-painted, with sand for grip, the galley and navigation station/quarter berth sole. This works well as it is the most frequently wet portion down below. Also note that a portion of the engine is visible, the 30-gallon stainless steel diesel tank is below the middle floor board, and the ladder bases sit in the wood that is taped blue in this image.

Anchor locker improvements
2008-09-07; Chris turned our anchor locker into two compartments. The after portion now is a stand alone propane locker with two 5-lb tanks. The forward portion now holds our manual windlass on this custom made base to lead our anchor chain into a freshly cut haus hole leading to the bowels of our boat.

Hanging Moni
2008-09-22; We attached our newly purchase used Monitor windvane here at the dock. It had originally been on a Cal-42 and amazingly, we didn't have to change the length of any of the stainless steel tubing! Just had to drill holes in the transom.

Bowsprit
2008-09-16; This piece of stainless steel turned into our bowsprite. The original anchor set up allowed the anchor to hit the bow upon raising and lowering. So Macguiver-Chris did some work with this piece to get us the 6-inch extension that we needed.

Galley
2008-11-05; This is our galley. It is on the starboard side just forward of the cockpit. Our oven and 3-burner stove are gimballed so we can cook under way while heeling. Our sink is just outboard of the center line of the boat with a saltwater foot pump inboard and freshwater handpump outboard. Our "ice box" is between the two. The cutting board and engine hatch under the ladder extend our counter space. Just above the counter, you can see the dish strainer where we hang our dishes to dry and behind that is our utensil holder (thanks Niki!) both are ideas from our river trips. The carabiner next to the ladder is the attachment for our galley strap to put behind us when cooking while heeled over.

Head
2005-01-15; This is our head, with a siphon loop to keep us from sinking. We removed the door to the head and made a curtain instead. We also added a shower track to the ceiling and place our solar shower on the hanging kitty shelf for indoor showering.

Griz in Shawn's closet
2008-10-23; Grizzly always wants to get into Shawn's closet.

Berkeley Marina sunset
2008-10-07; As the days got shorter, we saw more sunsets and sunrises as we continued to outfit Tao.

Marina rainbow
2008-01-22; Winter brings moisture and rainbows to Berkeley. Tao feels smaller when it's wet and cold outside.

Maggie & Hata
2008-04-05; Just after splashing, we were able to finally take our friends Maggie and Hata for a sail on the bay. Although we threw off the dock lines later than anticipated, it allowed us to take part in their amazing wedding in the fall.

Wave splash in the bay
2008-04-27; Bay sailing can be pretty wet!

To Ballena Bay
2008-02-09; A pirate party given by our yoga friend Lindsey motivated us to sail to Ballena Bay where they had a slip we camped in over night.

Navigatress
2008-04-30; Chris' birthday sail

Out the Golden Gate
2008-04-30; For Chris' birthday we sailed out past the Golden Gate for the first time ever! We were over canvased, and improperly trimmed, but enjoyed the thrill of it anyway! See the cargo ship of Tao's bow?!

Storage
2008-10-22; Shawn getting lunch together underway during one of our practice sails in the bay. There is a lot of storage in Tao. Here you can see behind the starboard sette back we store many dry cooking supplies (rice, pasta, sugar, flour, etc.) in the after most bin, cans in the middle bin, and Elna our sewing machine in the forward bin.

Mini-provision
2008-10-24; Post sailing with good friends Marie and Laura (finally!), we did a mini-provision organization. See the amazing bottle of port they gave us as a boatwarming gift? And Grizzly napping in new spots all the time.

Stern pulpit
2008-10-22; We anchored off Angel Island here to swim and Chris took a picture of our stern pulpit. Can you believe we have more than that stored there now?!

Kedging
2005-01-16; Kedging practice! That's what you get when you sail out of the Berkeley Marina on a negative tide and try to avoid traffic. The kedging actually didn't work, we enjoyed watching everyone nearly get stuck trying to help us and ended up waiting an hour for the tide to rise enough for us to float off.

Grilling
2008-10-07; We love our party-sized Magma grill!

Clipper Cove sunset
2008-10-22; We anchored in Clipper Cove on one of our training sails. The next day just after motoring out of the windless cove, our engine died. (See the full story on our blog)

Shawn at the helm
2008-11-05; More fun sailing practice in the bay.

San Rafael Bridge
2008-11-06; One of our training sails we headed into the north bay.

SF from the water
2008-11-06; The city is amazing, so many people, and so few of them on the water with us!

Tao and Emeryville
2008-11-06; We had an impromteu photo shoot with our friend Dave on Moonshadow. Just before this he got to watch us attempt to raise our spinnaker for the first time. It didn't work...

Tao and Richmond
2008-11-06; We put our 100% up.

Tao and Berkeley
2008-11-06; See Skates Restaurant just off our stern?

Tao and Angel Island
2008-11-06; This was our favorite picture, thanks for the photoshoot Dave!

Sailor kitty
2008-11-12; Grizzly liked it when we rolled Eeyore up and stored him just in front of the traveler. We ended up storing Eeyore partially inflated upsidedown forward of the mast while on passage. This is probably the space where our liferaft will go someday.
