Left this morning from Santo Domingo for Isla San Carlos. Haven’t arrived quite yet, but we caught fish! Skipjack (26 in), and our first Mahi Mahi (33.5 in). Karri put out the lines, Kirsten pulled in the fish, Graham gaffed them and bled them, Karri filleted them. Then the kids had a biology lesson as …

Heading back offline for a few days.
The last two mornings we awoke to a short bit of rain. Morning 1 gifted us with rainbows and today with towering clouds.
Wed Aug 26 2020 23:47:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) So we hopped from Santo Domingo (at the top of Bahia Concepcion) south to Playa Santispac. After anchoring we dinghied over to some small islands with our buddy boat Pablo and snorkeled. I wouldn’t call the snorkeling amazing, but it was nice. And importantly it was …
A few photos from Aug 20, 2020 and the winds/clouds/rain hurricane Genevieve brought us at Playa Santa Barbara in Bahía Concepción.
Sat Aug 22 2020 13:24:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Thankfully, Genevieve did nothing unexpected, stayed in the predicted paths and diminished gracefully.

Last night (Aug 21) Graham and I were finishing watching Liz Taylor’s Cleopatra and grasshoppers by the dozens …
Thu Aug 20 2020 09:02:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Yesterday, Aug 19, 2020, we arrived at Playa Santa Barbara from Santo Domingo at the top of Bahia Concepcion. Getting a good anchor set was frustrating. We hit gravel a few times and kept dragging through silt. Finally, on the 4th or 5th drop (I lost …
Late night and hurricane Genevieve is on every cruiser’s mind who is on the west side of Mexico. The image shows our current location. We are at the top of a bay called Bahía Concepción at the Santo Domingo anchorage. Tomorrow we are heading deeper south into Bahía Concepción to get better protection from wind …

Sun Aug 16 2020 02:50:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Still in La Ramada, though contemplating a move to an anchorage with north/north east wind protection. 18-23 kts of westerly winds from land with lightning to the east. It is another restless night on Pulsar. As a friend said, “Mexico doesn’t want us to sleep.” Mid …
Wed Aug 12 2020 11:49:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) We bypassed San Juanico yesterday and anchored just north in the little cove of La Ramada. We are here with two other boats, SV Pablo and SV Tulum V. The water yesterday was quite a bit cooler in temp than further south, though the air temp …
