What bliss to finally have a mooring without the swell! Calm at last and a lovely marina, surrounded by smart bars and restaurants. Unfortunately, it is a bit “Brit”ish but the town is immediately adjacent and a delight to wander through.&n…

What do we see? We see the sea!
Two gulls have moved aboard and nothing we can do, short of wringing their necks, will make them go away. They are crapping all over the deck. Everything is good on Lone Wolf. The sea is eerily calm and deep blue, and all systems are go. We have covere…
Making good progress
The generator stopped again on Friday. We were a bit panicked, although as we had the hydraulic alternator online, we were ok, although the batteries did appear to be getting depleted for some reason. Anyhow, we were on the phone a good deal to the gur…
Unusual Puget Sound Anchorages: Lynwood Center, Rich Passage
Lynwood
Center, tucked into the corner at the west end of Rich Passage, has become
one of our close-to-home favorites. It's nearn…
April 17, 2010 – Isla Coronado
We headed north to San Juanico, a beautiful anchorage that we had visited before. On the way we did see occasional whales off in the distance and a small group of porpoises close up. What they lacked in numbers, they made up for in their jumping, flip…

All is well
We are now 300 miles out to sea, and heading in the general direction of Tahiti. It’s a little rougher than before, but things are good. Flying fish and squid jump out of the sea onto the deck. The sea is becoming bluer. The internet is ver…
April 14, 2010 Panama back to La Paz
This posting reflects a change in the cruising pattern for Arcadia I. For the first time since we’ve owned her, we’re heading consistently North! After we bought Arcadia I last June, we cruised around SE Alaska for the summer. …
April 15, 2010 – Running North Past Loreto
We anchored in front of Loreto. Conditions were perfect, even Earl had no qualms about leaving his boat at anchor. We left our dingy in the small boat harbor, which is really for small boats, like pangas and boats under 28 feet. Another boater helpe…
2nd attempt to cross the Pacific
The generator is now fixed. It is an unfortunate and complicated sequence of events that led to our problem. It is also miund-numbingly dull, and so even if I fully understood it, I would not relate it here.We are off again first t…
