Check out our YouTube page and watch a few clips from our trip down the Pacific Coast of Mexico with the BajaHaHa. See some fun moments that we are excited to share. The gift of the HaHa just keeps on giving! Thanks HandBrake for the great video compression software! Happy Sails!
Giving Thanks at Sea
Well the family on SV Banyan has been out of cell service and internet range for a while. I’m getting a little bit twitchy! Since we last did an update on our adventure we have moved north. We took off from Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. We curled around …
BajaHaHa!
Well that was fun… We had heard several things about the BajaHaHa before we joined in. We’d heard that it was a drunk fest/moving party. We had heard that no one actually knew how to sail or anchor. We heard that it was all retired types and not many families. So WHY did we join …
Bien Venidos!
We made it! This is the view this morning. We pulled into the anchorage in the harbor of Cabo San Lucas about 12pm last night. I will be working up a full report as well as a short video of our adventure down the Pacific coast of the Baja peninsula with the BajaHaHa over …
The Countdown is ON!
It’s down to the wire! In less than 5 days we will be upping anchor and heading south to Mexico in a big convoy of other boats called the Baja Ha Ha! “FINALLY!” you say, and so do we! I know some of you have been taking bets on whether or not we will ever …
Prepping for Mexico – The Big To-Do List
First off let me say just how happy we are with our boat. When I explain to people all the things that we are upgrading, changing or fixing on the boat they furrow their brow and say “So do you think you made the right choice on the boat you bought?” YES YES YES. We …
Dodging Warships…and other adventures
When last I reported our location, we were leaving Santa Barbara, prepping to explore the Channel Islands again. It seems eons since that time! Whenever I sit down to plunk out a post it always seems like I have absolutely nothing to say… then, three pages later I’m cutting and slashing to keep it manageable. …
Food, Glorious Food!
How Does Food Work on a Boat? I’ve been meaning to write about food for a while. This post has been languishing in my “working posts” file under construction and ignored. This is much like my cooking… I work on it, have high hopes, but it is sadly neglected. I have flights of fancy and …
Update from Santa Barbara
As our water tanks are being refilled in the Santa Barbara Harbor, here is a quick update! We are leaving Santa Barbara and heading back to the Channel Islands (Santa Cruz). We’ve had a great time in Santa Barbara, enjoying Fiesta Week, seeing my cousin Anna and my Aunt Helen, and meeting up with friends …
A Day Like Any Other Day
Well, the anchorage antics never cease. In fact, I think this may be our main source of entertainment and occupation for the next several years. Cameron has so far earned two cans of beer, a can of chicken chili and a can of corned beef hash for his help in setting anchors, pulling anchors, detangling …
