Thu Nov 28 2019 00:56:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) I wonder if I’ll ever get used to the sounds Pulsar makes at night. Every sound is magnified because seeing is harder. What is that low thundering noise? It’s new…ah, just the wind rippling over our dodger. Squeak, squeak…just the reef lines on the boom. Gotta …
Bioluminescence and dolphins
Wed Nov 27 2019 20:19:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) Bioluminescence is super cool, especially with dolphins streaking through it. I sent the kids up to the bow (clipped in) to watch as the pod played up there. They like to surf the bow wake, going back and forth and jumping, all leaving streaks of green …
Last light with ominous clouds
Wed Nov 27 2019 17:11:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) (Picture pending high speed internet) Hmm. Less appealing than the double rainbows just a little while ago. -Graham
Double Rainbow, what does it mean?
Wed Nov 27 2019 16:49:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) (Picture pending high speed internet) Could see both sides. Google the title if you don’t know what it means, and listen -Graham
Running to better weather
Wed Nov 27 2019 14:51:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) To say we don’t care for unprotected anchorages in heavy weather is an understatement. Turtle Bay is actually protected from the wind from several directions. However, the mouth of the bay, like most west coast anchorages, opens fully to the southwest. So, if big southwesterly winds …
Of flying fish, whales, and pots
Tue Nov 26 2019 13:21:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) We left Isla Cedros at 8am this morning with SV Yatra. We chose to head to Bahía Tortuga via Dewey Channel. Shorter, more narrow, full of pots (crab, lobster, etc) but without a possibly crazy tidal change. So we have spent the day dodging pots and …
Isla Cedros for the night
Mon Nov 25 2019 15:28:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) We are safely anchored at Isla Cedros. We are just south of the harbor at Puerto Cedros. We’ll rest here for the night before moving to Bahía Tortuga tomorrow.
On a cloud covered night

A rolly down wind sail
Mon Nov 25 2019 01:37:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) I’m nearing the end of my watch. The clouds shifted and the stars were visible for a while. Now the clouds have drifted back in. I can see our buddy boat’s lights periodically as the waves roll by. We have been sailing down wind. With just …
A right of passage
Sun Nov 24 2019 22:53:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) It seems if you are a cruiser and you like sushi, a right of passage is catching tuna of some type and having fresh sushi. Yesterday our buddy Yatra caught two skipjack aka bonito. Then today after we left Bahía Santa Maria they caught another. Very …
