NAVEGANDO A CASA

SEPT 2013- FEB 2014

PANAMA   
pais latino, lleno de vida y cultura, pais violado, lleno de olas y hermosura, no son las calles mas limpias que he visto pero si un de las calles mas lisas y con lomas mas interesantes que he persivido. estrecho mas corto continental entre dos oceanos. Oleajes suroestes, en el pacifico nos quedamos. Oleaje noreste del caribe unas horas nomas y a unas buenas olas e agua cristal llegamos. rutinas de trabajo, 0630 desayunando, 0800 en el velero. Fuera del agua estuvo ella, en mantenimiento por meses paso, mucho amor le dimos hasta que por fin splash hizo ella y por fin se mojo. con su casco reluciente blanco y cubierta empolvada del astillero se despidio. descontrol controlado.

tranquilidad antes de la tormenta. amaneciendo

 barnis, olor adictivo, delicadesa detallosa.

el dia a dia 

moises, un alma buena

 

gracias Panama

AL NORTE RAPIDO, AGOSTO 2013

OK, AHORA QUE ESTAMOS EN CHILE HAGAMOSLA RAPIDO PERO DISFRUTANDO CADA SEGUNDO. EN BUS DESDE SANTIAGO DE CHILE HASTA GUAYAQUIL ECU ERA LA IDEA.
MARIA FERNANDA Y DAVID LA HICIERON, YO TUVE QUE ABORDAR MISION.

HORAS LARGAS Y PAISAJES INFINITOS LUMINOSOS NOS DESPERTARON POR POCOS BELLOS DIAS.

GRACIAS SENIORES CONDUTORES.

JULIO 2013

HEY HERMANO, LETS GO TO THE MARQUESAS ISLANDS, I HAVE NO PLANS AT THE MOMENT, I SAID. YES! WAS THE ANSWER A HEARD. A FEW DAYS AFTER WITH NO PLANING IN ADVANCE OR RELY SEARCHING FOR A RIDE WE WHERE HEADED TO THE MARQUESAS ISLANDS, 3000 NAUTICAL MILES WEST OF THE GALAPAGOS. ISLANS WHICH ARE CONSIDER FRNCH TERRITORY. SALINIG FOR 20 DAYS ON BOARD A 58FT CATAMARAN WAS NOT A PROBLEM FOR US. LIGHT WINDS ALL THE WAY CRUSSING AND "TRYPING AROUND" NON STOP IS WHAT WE DID.
AFTER SPENDIND COUPLE WEEKS IN THE MARQUESAS WE DECIDE IT WAS TIME TO FLY TO TAHITI AND GET SOME GOOD WAVES. ANOTHER YES WAS MADE. YES LETS DO IT!

CLEAR WATERS, PERFECT WAVES AND BEAUTIFUL BIG PEOPLE IS WHAT SURROUNDED US FOR ANOTHER WEEK.

THANKS MY BROTHER, BUEN VIAJE..

SAILING SOUTH

YES, and we finally made it out of the cold, dock lines off the dock, and fishing gear ready. January 10th, lets call it winter time! yes we got some fish, couple days with great wind going up to 14 knots. Josefina (sailboat) was feeling good again after seating for too long, the crew was getting salty again after seating for too long. the energy of who we lost was felt in the air, the mystery whale follow us starboard to for a little bit after checking our lure for too long, the stars where bright because we had no moon light, the watches were share with smiles day and night, the dreams finally become normal with an angled bunk.

It was a pleasant sail with light winds all the way from Newport to Tortola with a stop in Bermuda, almost 1400 n.miles
