Cruise Review
Thu Apr 28 2022 11:44:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) 5/5 Would cruise again Cruises on Pulsar Liner are a little unusual at first, but I’ve grown to appreciate them. The available activities are not the same as your typical cruise: no water slides, hot tubs, etc. Fortunately there remains considerable time for reading and wave …
Day 6
Thu Apr 28 2022 08:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Good morning from the Pacific. Our iridium issues seem to have subsided. Yesterday another sailboat made contact with us, a catamaran named Calista. It was awesome to hear another boat. They left La Cruz the day before we left Cabo. Between contact with them and emails …
Connectivity challenges
Wed Apr 27 2022 08:04:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Just a heads up that we’ve been experiencing trouble with our Iridium Go satellite modem that we use to update this blog, tracking map, get email, and get weather. It’s working again now but the cause of hours of the unit itself not allowing connection is …
Letter to my father
Mon Apr 25 2022 17:47:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Hey Dad, We finally did it! We left Mexico for French Polynesia. The next land we see will be Nuku Hiva, Marquesas. Leaving Cabo was exhilarating. We left in the evening, raising anchor at 8:20pm local time. First mistake out of the gate was raising our …
We’re downwind
Sun Apr 24 2022 19:44:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) The winds have dropped and shifted considerably and we’re now sailing downwind. It’s completely different than the prior days, it’s now calm and quiet other than the shock loads when the boat rolls and the sail collapses due to lack of wind then suddenly filling. They’re …
Night two
Sun Apr 24 2022 02:25:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) So far so good night two. Nothing big to report, which is great. After spending two hours on the bow getting the furler sorted out earlier today I’m happy to be inside the cockpit in dry clothes right now. Karri made me a hot cider too, …
Too Much Excitement
Sat Apr 23 2022 20:12:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) We had a fantastic sendoff from Cabo with some significant waves and wind, sustained 35, gusting 40 the second we got out from behind the wind break at the point. We sailed out rails in the water, playing music, and having a great time. That had …

Back in the saddle
Tue Apr 19 2022 04:10:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) We’re back moving again and it feels good. We spent a lot longer in Banderas Bay than planned. We didn’t have wind coming soon to get us off land from Banderas Bay though so we’re motoring to Cabo San Lucas. We will check out of Mexico …
