Final legs home to Penasco

By Lowell | May 30, 2015 | Category Baja 2015

Weather looks good for their crossing..   Soon after we bid goodbye to our Swiss friends and the Puerto Refugio […]

Heading to Refugio to Hang with our Fishing Buddies

By Lowell | May 26, 2015 | Category Baja 2015

Saturday May 23rd (Memorial Weekend) Whale channel the easy way! What a difference a day makes!! We head north up Whale channel relaxing on the bow drinking bloody-maries instead of extreme sailing we did heading south. Forecasts seem to indicate weather will return to something more typical and we’re very happy. Today the Pacific slot […]

Thursday May 21st (Still Red Nose Day) Bees started invading the boat so we decided to head to Bay of LA with winds still blowing in the 17kt range, good for sailing. Rounding the corner and heading SW towards the Bay and we see nothing but whitecaps ahead.. Before long it’s time to change plans […]

LA Bay Time

By Lowell | May 22, 2015 | Category Baja 2015

Tuesday May 19th It’s going to be hard to get the crew to leave Gonzaga. Alfonsina’s food and staff have been very very good to us. Dinner last night was Jeffrey’s all time Baja’s best and the staff and customers were so much fun. Today we woke up with a decision on whether to stay […]

Gonzaga Area Fun

May 18 Monday Wind forecasts for Sunday night changed our plans for anchoring in Puertecitos. Strong winds and new moon with max tide is not a good formula for that anchorage so we did the 75nm passage San Felipe to Willard Bay making a very long day. South of San Felipe we found low tide […]

Gato Loco finally Ready to go sailing

By Lowell | April 21, 2015 | Category Baja 2015

It’s been a challenging spring that has prevented us from making long range sailing plans. Things are coming together and we’ve finished the repower of Gato Loco with new Yamahas motors. If you remember last season we had motor problems that we were able to manage but that was the hand writing on the wall […]

By Lowell | March 11, 2015 | Category Baja 2015

Gato Loco friends have been wondering about the 2015 sailing season. Normally plans would have been finalized by this time. In some of the final updates last season we reported lots of engine problems. We’ve got them all stabilized and they are running great BUT we’ve decided to install new engines to set our minds […]
