A Day in San Francisco

Stayed at Dave's last Thursday night, got up and took BART downtown to be at the Mexican Consulate by 7:30 am on Friday. Back to Dave's for a fish taco lunch - yum, did laundry and looked at the rest of his wedding pictures.

    Hello.
    Just found your blog, while i was googling about westsail/fairweather 39.
    Nice to see someones blog, about sailing with this boat.
    I love this boat so much that keep searching info about it, and hopefully some day will buy one :)
    Can you please make a video about the boat, the interior and exterior of the boat.
    And it would be great if you post a review of what you think of the boat the pros and cons, since there is little info about it.
    Sorry for asking this, but would love to read and see the videos about it.

    Hope you'll keep posting great news about the westsail 39.

    Have a great time with the boat.
    Fair winds and calm seas.
    Bye

      Sorry.........I was just going back and reading our old blog posts and saw your comment of 9/25/10. I don't know if you are following our blog anymore or not, but we have had the boat in Mexico now for almost ten years. We are now contemplating selling her.
      We have absolutely loved her and have continued to add and upgrade gear.
      We may be putting her on the market in October 2019 in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico.
      If so we will have a link on our blog to another blog with all the boat info. If you want information prior to that please send us an email: loombaloomba@gmail.com

Mexico Ferry Travel: Getting from Guaymas to Baja and Back

Since our car was in Puerto Escondido in Baja and we and Loomba-Loomba were in San Carlos on the mainland, we decided to make an adventure out of getting the car over to the mainland and do a Copper Canyon trip on the way back to Guaymas. This involved two different ferry trips, a bus, lots of driving, and a train. Ferry travel is not cheap or easy in Mexico.  We arrived at the 8PM ferry  (Guaymas – Santa Rosalia) on Saturday May 27 th at 6PM, as required.  There had been some pretty strong northerlies for a few days and the ferry isn’t very big so we asked if it was definitely going to sail. They said yes so our friend, Ray, who had given us a ride from San Carlos, left.  At 7:45 they decided the weather was too bad to go – next ferry would be Monday (maybe). We took a taxi back to the boat and decided to wait until Tuesday the 29 th . This time we had Ray ( who speaks fluent Spanish) call and make a reservation in a cabin for us for Tuesday.  We arrived at 6PM. They ha

The first trip was doing the Selkirk Loop. We headed first to eastern Washington, then northern Idaho, then British Columbia. We highly recommend.

It was beautiful, nice hikes, good place to ride our bikes and the added bonus was that the Kokanee salmon were swimming up river to spawn.  View of the lake The visitor's center in the park was wonderful and we learned a lot about the fresh water salmon. From there we headed to Nelson, BC. and then Beaver Creek Provincial Park The next morning we headed west with a stop  in Metaline Falls where we had a great             breakfast at "The Farmhouse".                  We stopped in Colville for fuel and to stock u

North to Vancouver Island..........

 ........this time on our van aboard the Coho Ferry to Victoria. It was a really fun week visiting old cruising friends and for Jim to see old haunts from his time living in Victoria (many years ago). The Coho ferry leaves Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula and arrives in downtown Victoria in one and a half hours: We drove up the west side of Vancouver Island then cut across to a wonderful Provincial C ampground on Gordon Bay on a beautiful lake. The Provincial Campgrounds are big and very well maintained. From Gordon Bay Campground we headed to Nanaimo to hook up with Bob and Gisele Coffey (s/v Relax) where we spent the night. We did a lot of catching up, took a couple of walks around the ponds surrounding their neighborhood and then headed up to another BIG and Beautiful Provincial Park:Rathtrevor Provincial Park about one hour north of Nanaimo. We spent two nights "buddy vanning". . From there we drove (along with Coffeys) down to Shawnigan Lake to visit Ian and Diane (
