\r\nChris is no stranger to these waters\u2014or to our crew. After selling Strikhedonia a few years back, he joined us aboard Gato Loco for several memorable legs. Now, having recently reacquired his beloved catamaran, he\u2019s charted an ambitious season that spans from San Diego to Loreto, Mazatl\u00e1n, Puerto Vallarta, Barra de Navidad, and eventually back into the Sea of Cortez.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Paul Nowak and I are thrilled to be part of this southbound leg. It\u2019s our first time cruising since the unforgettable anchorage blowout in Gonzaga, and we\u2019re eager to get back on the water. The chance to sail with Chris as he revisits the marinas and anchorages he loves is a perfect way to dive back into the rhythm of life at sea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We\u2019ll rendezvous with Chris this Monday (January 26) at Sky Harbor, catching a flight to Mazatl\u00e1n to help prep Strikhedonia for the journey south.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Below is a Google Earth chart of our cruising grounds\u2014stay tuned for updates from the water.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n See where Strikhedonia currently sets.
