Gato Loco 2017 Cruise– Wrap-up videos and links to all the 2017 Updates
Hola Amigo’s and Amiga’s from the cabin in Prescott. I started the 2017 cruise blog here at the cabin in the snow last January. It’s only fitting that I wrap up the season relaxing in the pines. Maybe you noticed we had a great season with fun awesome crews. John was our newbie on our 2 week cruise south and made the best galley wench. All kidding aside Bill and I had a great time introducing him to our Sea of Cortez. Now he knows it as a huge nautical playground. What a fun cruise south with Bill’s drone capturing lots of new Sea images. We only got to see the Redden Trifecta cruise in passing seeing then in Tijuana going and coming. We’re really gad we got to see Sandy and her new husband Xov. Darrel and Anita slipped in for a overnight visit to beautiful Isla Coronados. The WCM Rally was another special week seeing our cruising friends and meeting new sailing friends that we’re already missing and hoping we see again next year. Ryan the drone videographer on Free Luff captured some awesome video with his professional style that has improved significantly the wrap-up videos. Bob and Chris made the week extra special. The birthday week was like super reunion with some of our long time friends that we have a huge history with (5th grade for Murril). That can’t get any better and we know Al had a super birthday cruise culminating with a classic birthday fiesta to remember thanks to Lynnie and Jeffery that worked behind the scenes to make it happen. It was John and Carol’s first Gato Loco cruise which took a huge effort on their part to make happen. What a crew we made. Finally the northbound leg crew Rick and Jeffrey got us home safe and sound with a few trials and tribulations along the way. Both are seasoned crew members which paid off on our windier days. Watch the Intense Sailing video to see it first hand. Thank you Jeffrey for everything you do to make sailing with you such a pleasure. We sure missed Lynnie this year.
I’ve put together 2 videos to reminisce and relive this season. The first captures some of the best blog photos over the entire season. The 2nd captures the Rally week in more detail and features many of Ryan’s drone videos. After that you will find links to all of this season’s blogs and videos.
Enjoy!!
Everyone enjoy your summer. Thanks for all your comments and encouragements for our sailing endeavors. We love your involvement.
Until the next season.
