For a migrant “yachtista”, Mazatlan, approached the right way, is absolute heaven! Mayaluga very rarely ever goes into a marina. Mazatlan is one of those exceptions brought about mostly because of horror stories we had heard about theft from sailboats at anchor. We bit the bullet and paid for 7 nights at the security-gated El […]
2017 brought a new year and a new sailing leg. With Anna and Jim on their way home, Mayaluga spent the last day of 2016 getting provisions and laundry sorted. On January 1, we bid our friends Helen and Ian on Nightide a tearful farewell and sailed out of the La Paz harbour destined for Mazatlan. […]
I came to be quite comfortable in La Paz. Its what happens when we spend a reasonable amount staying put in one place. I like that feeling. Its relaxing and less tiring because I’m not having to figure out new things every day. Not surprisingly, my favourite place in La Paz was the bi-weekly (Tuesdays […]
A full 3 years preparation has finally culminated in a departure! Wow, the years of .intense anticipation seemed to fade into oblivion in the hectic final days count-down. So much yet to do, and time is running out! One of our cruising friends gave us good advice: Make a new list “TO-DO IN MEXICO” We […]
Mayaluga and her crew arrived in San Francisco on Monday, August 29 after an almost 7 day trip down the coast from Victoria, BC. After many days of being “missing in action”, our buddy boat Nightide and her crew Ian and Helen, were waiting for us just west of the bridge. What a lovely surprise! […]
The day of all days has arrived! Mayaluga and her crew are setting off today for San Fransisco – the first leg of our journey to the South Pacific. One of our crew, Keith James, has kindly provided the use of his Tracker, so you can follow our progress down to San Fran with this […]
We gave up our slip at Hidden Harbour Marina in Victoria, BC on July 15, 2016. Tony and I are homeless now. Well, maybe not homeless. Mayaluga is our home. We just don’t have a fixed address any longer. I have mixed feelings about that. Its a bit scary on the one hand but so […]
Mayaluga enjoyed hosting some generous folks who supported one of the wonderful festivals we have here in Victoria, BC – Creatively United for the Planet. Hilary and her husband Lawrence purchased the Silent Auction item that Tony and I donated – a 4 hour sail on Mayaluga with a locavore lunch and brought along two […]
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a bit of a political animal. I love all things Green and Bernie Sanders! Last year, I twisted Tony’s arm to let me donate a 4 hour sail for 4 on Mayaluga with a locavore lunch as a silent auction fundraising item for Frances Litman, who was […]
