We are now in La Paz – will cruise the Sea and return to Maz to weather out hurican season from June 1 – Oct 31. Lots of wind here – we anchored in a 30 knot Norther about a week ago, then hunkered down with 25 – 27 knots on us for almost three days – this was in a protected anchorage. Whatever you do – get a real big anchor – with lots of chain – I mean real big – we have a 66 pound bruie and a FX 37 fortress.

We will be in South or North Carolina sometime in the next 2-3 years – we are going into Central America this Nov 1 – then on to Ecuador for the summer – we -plan to refit in the Carolinas before crossing to Europe.
I am sure that boat will be both enjoyable and challenging – its a long learning curve – remember – its your job now n- not just an “adventure” so just treat it as such – the boat always comes first.

Fair winds – Gary

Of course, we got through it; you can too. And traveling light is its own reward.
