Leg 6 Starts this weekend
Seawinds in Agua Verde
Lowell here.. Sorry updates have been slow in coming over the past weeks. Some crews spend much too much time on a computer in their real life and would prefer understandably to cut the computer tie. 
Frankie and I will return to Gato Loco this weekend and I will catch you up on all news from Gato Loco. We will join Gato Loco as she arrives in La Paz with crews Rick, Dave, Ellen & Shelly on board. They’ve sailed from Loreto over the past week with what seems to be great weather from internet reports. We will see what they report.
It’s Wednesday night as I write this update. Brian and Heather are here in Phoenix with us. Heather will be hanging here with Neely & Buddy while Frankie sails on Gato Loco next week. Frankie, Brian & I will head to Cholla tomorrow then Frankie and I will take a bus to Hermosillo on Friday to meet the Rangels (Victor, Lesley, Ales & Mia) who will sail with us from La Paz to Loreto next week. We will fly together on Saturday morning from Hermosillo to La Paz.
La Paz should be fun since Victor has family living there and we will have Saturday evening and Sunday to visit La Paz area with them.
Important Note: Victor has taken on the challenge to catch a bigger fish than the 30 lb. yellow tail they caught on Leg 4. Oh yes, they say their fish weighed 35-40 lb. Water temps are warming and reports are for good fishing. Go Victor!!
Here’s some aerial shots of the Loreto area as I flew home a few weeks back. We can’t wait to get back on the boat..!!
Until the next update…

It’s beautiful, you and Frankie have a great time. We are headed for Cancun fun with Mike
It was great seeing you on “pizza Tuesday”, and quite a surprise too! ‘Wish I could have spent more time hearing about your adventures. The website here does a fine job of keeping me in a constant state of envy as I read and look at it…….standing up…………..with my sea legs on………….gripping on to the back of my desk chair as though I was on board catching the waves! Yes, I have an imagination and I use it! 🙄
Leg 6 is almost here already??? I know you and Frankie are anxious to get on Gato Loco for some fun in the sun with the Rangel family! Neely is in good hands with Heather and Buddy hanging out with her! Go enjoy! We will be hanging in Cholla with Melissa and her family for Memorial weekend. Cheers! 😎
What an AMAZING trip! Everyone should be as lucky as i was to do this! Thanks Gato Loco for a trip of a lifetime and for all that make it possible! Safe Sailing and most of all ENJOY the Sea and all that it has to share!
Yo, mateys Frankie and Lowell. This is Grandma Judy here, still in New York and on land. Sigh, 😥 but a happy camper for sure. Hoist those sails, swab those decks and kiss a dolphin for me!
