We have a little catching up to do since our last blog post (when we shipped Gadabout from New Zealand to Mexico) but we’ll keep it short, sharing most of the story through pictures.

The past two Februarys found us loading the car in WA and escaping the cold, wet Pacific NW winter to drive to Mexico and hop aboard Gadabout for some much needed sailing and sunshine. In 2022, we reunited with Gaddy in Ensenada (on the Pacific coast of the Baja peninsula) after her journey from New Zealand. Our buddy Kevin joined us and we spent a month sailing south.

After saying goodbye to Kevin in San Jose del Cabo, we rounded the corner into the Sea of Cortez where we spent the next three months revisiting favorite haunts… 

and exploring new places. 

We were lucky to have more friends visit along the way – we love sharing Gadabout and the cruising lifestyle with others. Much fun was had by all.

Gadabout spent the 2022 hurricane season safely tucked away on the hard in Puerto Peñasco, MX while we went home to enjoy the Pacific NW summer. We rejoined her this February and spent another four months in the Sea of Cortez, filling our days with desert hikes…

Water time…

Good eats and drinks…

And plenty of warm weather to get us through the winter and spring.

Our Sea of Cortez cruising concluded in the beautiful city of La Paz where, once again, Gaddy prepared for a long distance journey aboard a cargo ship, this time headed north.
