Las Hadas Resort-

-




You would of thought we were sailing in the Mediterranean when we pulled into this sweet little anchorage north of downtown Manzanillo. The white washed building hanging to the hillside were only broken up by the rich colors of Bougainvillea. We enjoyed a great hike to the top of the hill and a fun swim at the pool, free of charge, well we did order a Pina Colada. The resort invite boaters to enjoy the pool and the resort for a small charge.. Luck had it no one was collecting that day so they just said to enjoy a drink by the pool. So that is what we did. I think the fact that this 500 room is close to empty could have been part of reason.

A little trivia on the place.. The movie Ten was shot here in the 80's with Bo Derek . Also the peninsula is also supposed to be the most expensive real estate in Mexico. No doubt by the beautiful homes that sit high on the hill behind their gates.

This would be as far south as we go this season and it was a nice way to wrap up the Gold Coast before we headed North.

    Hi Guys,
    Just wanted to drop a note so we are connected via the interweb. We're looking forward to seeing you in the sea this summer.

All Sails are Flying and Fresh Fish Dinner

-
The wind has backed off and it sounds as if the last few days at sea might just be the most enjoyable. For the first time since leaving Cabo San Lucas all the sails are flying. Both the main sails are flying high and the spinnaker is full. Yesterday they caught a nice Mahi Mahi that they cooked up breaded style and will have the rest today. With the wind and sea calming down it has given them the energy to do some domestics including showers, sheet changes and for at least Thor a clean shave. He is getting a little bit of badgering from the crew for not conforming to their pirate ways. All is well and the ETA for Oahu is Saturday. 21 20N 150 24W 7-9KTS  Boat Speed WIND ENE 13KTS 420 Miles to Ala Wai

Home Again!

Back in Nawiliwili At 5:30 Sunday morning the crew of  Meshach completed their 3000 mile journey to Kauai. In just 14 days of travel time and under reffed sails for 90 percent of the time the voyage was by all accounts successful. The guys were in good spirits and ready to be back. Angela and Annie met Aaron and Kevin at the dock with leis and well I brought kids oops that would have been a nice touch. The crew were excited to see loved ones and be back on solid non moving ground After some photo taking ( thanks Mario and Alyssa) the crew was ready to head off to a fabulous Sunday brunch with Tastes of Hawaii. Music, friends and lots of yummy treats. This was a great way to celebrate the crossing. Thor and I took advantage of being on a dock which is a rare thing for our boat. Off with the old and on with the new. All the extra stuff required for full time cruising was taken off the boat and the next two days were spent cleaning and prepping the boat for a summer in Hanalei Bay

Season of Change

October 2017 brought a lot of change.The past few months have been crazy! Who in there right mind buys a new boat,(yes we still have Meshach) rents their house, pulls their kids out of school, and takes off for a year in less than three months? That would be us!! We decided to buy a new boat in June. We didn't really have any intentions of buying a new boat, until we heard from a friend that he was selling our dream boat. Call it mid-life crisis or just plain craziness, but we bought he boat in June with the goal of setting sail to the west coast in September. Why so fast? Winter storms start brewing in October sending not so good weather south from Alaska. So last few months were spent purchase of dream boat, delivery from Oahu, hauling the boat out in Nawiliwili, painting the bottom, and getting her ready for a Pacific crossing. Well that was Thor's list. I kept busy packing the house, renting it out, selling the cars, training two amazing women to run our business, a
