A fishy Tail or Tale?

Remember this Photo?



Back in March we were in Puerto Vallarta where we enjoyed a fun visit with friends from Kauai.  After a week of racing fun in the Banderas Bay Regatta the girls on Meshach along with friends Amy and Nancy and Zada from Eyoni played it easy at the resort.  The boys all went out on Meshach for a two day dive trip to Corbatena Rock to spear some big fish.  They had fun trip and a successful catch.

Months later Nancy submitted photos to the popular Latitude 38 magazine which of course included pix of the very large fish we named The Toad.

Here is a fun story that showed up in Latitude 38 a popular sailing magazine. Looks like we stirred up a little controversy.  All in fun of course.  Read for yourself the three stories...

To give credit to the pix. The boys in the photo with Tristan are Max and Sasha Rovinsky!

Let the truth be known.

The best part about all this is Nancy and Ethan on Eyoni are out of internet range and are missing all the drama.  We are looking forward to catching up with them soon and share some fish stories....

All Sails are Flying and Fresh Fish Dinner

-
The wind has backed off and it sounds as if the last few days at sea might just be the most enjoyable. For the first time since leaving Cabo San Lucas all the sails are flying. Both the main sails are flying high and the spinnaker is full. Yesterday they caught a nice Mahi Mahi that they cooked up breaded style and will have the rest today. With the wind and sea calming down it has given them the energy to do some domestics including showers, sheet changes and for at least Thor a clean shave. He is getting a little bit of badgering from the crew for not conforming to their pirate ways. All is well and the ETA for Oahu is Saturday. 21 20N 150 24W 7-9KTS  Boat Speed WIND ENE 13KTS 420 Miles to Ala Wai

What now?

We are finishing up what we refer to as a season.  A season for us and the majority of boats in this part of the world would be from October (when it is getting cold up north) till July or August  (when hurricane season arrives) or the weather is unbearable.  There are the few brave ones who will head north into the Sea and avoid the hurricanes and into cooler water.  For us the season ends in August.  We will leave Meshach in Mexico and head home via Airliner to Hawaii to re-group, see family, maintenance on the house, paper works and business that can't be done from the boat. People ask us why we chose Mexico as a place to visit, live, sail... The answer is we love it. We love to travel experience new places, new people, live simple, spend time with our kids while they are still young and we relatively young.  The list goes on.  We love the adventure and the challenge and the pure simplicity of it and the lesson that you can live with so much less. We've had a

One Last Stop 22.8800° N, 109.9000° W

22.8800° N, 109.9000° W Cabo San Lucas There is an old sailing superstition that you never leave for a long passage on a Friday, do not have bananas on board or women for that matter. This would not be the first passage that was started on a Friday. The new development would restart the voyage to today making the official start day Saturday. Ok I feel so much better. Ha Ha I was surprised this morning to receive a call from Thor's cell phone this morning clearly still in range and not as far off as I thought they would be. The decision to stop in Cabo was made due to the fact that...well why not? The winds were light, not much to talk about on the horizon, more fuel wouldn't hurt , topping off water, and a few more select provisions were needed. Peanut butter black tea and a bit of fresh bread to be exact. The first 24 hours out was an easy motor sail, mostly motoring at around 7 knots in calm and glassy water through the Cerralvo Channel. The boys were kept entertain
