Departing for a Sojourn in Mexico

I am heading back to Mexico to meet up with my Haha boat and sailing the best that Mexico has to offer. The 350 miles between Puerto Valarta and Zihutanejo are spectacular. Lots of beautiful anchorages, stunnung sunsets and tons of wildlife. We are heading south to experience Guitarfest. 20 or so artists play on the beach in a concert setting. After the first event, they all scatter to venues in the city. I was there during my 2019/20 voyage and vowed to come back. Six onboard and temps in the mid 80's every day. We have Starlink aboard and I plan to update the blog a few times during the voyage. Stand by!

Terrible Crash at Sail GP

SailGP, like most events with a “Grand Prix” theme, promises excitement and adrenaline while testing the edge of danger. Saturday’s SailGP event in Auckland crossed the danger line when the French and New Zealand teams collided after Peter Burling and team on Black Foils appeared to lose control in front of the French, who did their best to avoid a collision. They didn’t make it. The fleet boats were traveling at around 90 km/h (about 56 mph) in “breezy conditions” when the DS Team France F50 smashed into the side of Black Foils. Two sailors suffered significant injury, and the boats were badly damaged.

Meanwhile in Santa Cruz...

All six occupants were rescued. Who would do this???

Another Top YouTuber Says Goodbye

La Vagabond to Sell Boat and Move On

I have been following this channel since the beginning. These guys have seen it all and done it all since 2018. They became the top sailing Youtube channel and made millions from their videos. Now they have two boys who need the stability of land as they grow older. I don't think we have seen the last of them as they transition to sustainable living at some tropical location with a much more humble boat at the dock waiting for them. Bon voyage!
