cabo in a cave
Not much to report I left Cabo about a week ago now.  My last night in Cabo was once more with the now skeleton crew of the kid’s posse. There was only 6 of us left as boats had been leaving for days now. We decided that we should check out Lover’s Beach at Land’s End. We had been there for at least a week and hadn’t even been to Cabo’s most famous landmark.  

Can’t go to cabo without a run in with the federales
So the Baja Ha Ha fleet is nearly 200 boats and 601 people. We’re all a bunch of sailors that were pretty damned stoked to get on land and take advantage of two for one drinks here in Cabo. And man, do we! All 600 of us flooded the town ripping it up left and right. There is a core of younger people that are all crew on boats and floating like I am. We all found each other pretty quickly and formed a posse that we nicknamed The Kid’s Table. Since we are all broke and homeless, we can’t afford to go out to the bars and clubs all nig

So here I am in Cabo San Lucas, on the Baja Peninsula. This is our third and final stop on the Baja Ha-Ha. I know I already said it once, but the boat I’m on is absolutely fantastic. Not only were we one of only about 8 boats that sailed the whole way out of almost 200, but we had hot showers, good company and yummy meals the whole way. I’m not sure how we did overall, but I’m proud to say that there was no motoring. And believe me it was

Less than 48 hours later, our boat was first in class, first to finish on our first leg!! It was windy, a steady 20-25 knots with gusts to 30 pretty much the whole way. Our first night, we had a few hours of no wind, and just floating, but that is pretty much it. There were big, confused seas for most of the time, but we surfed well. The second evening we blew up our one good spinnaker. The head tore clean off and the whole thing went in the water. We have a great crew, though, and the sail didn´t go under the boat, we got it aboard relatively quick. The rest of the way, we sailed with the jib wing-on-wing or just the mainsail. We still were going along at a steady 10 k

adios, estados unidos
Today is my last day in the U.S. I just left L.A. after visiting David Ray for a few days. I was even able to see Shannon Evans and Dan Applegate. High school friends that I haven’t seen in over a decade!!! It was David’s birthday and he had his annual Kostume Karaoke party. This year’s theme was “The Future”. I went as myself in the future. This is how I imagine myself: A gamblin’, hard partyin’ old lady named Nickel Slots:
