Dave
and Rebecca in the cockpit. Dave drove the whole way from La
Paz to Ensenada Grande, one of the anchorages at Isla Partida, approximately 6
hours! It was like having the Hydrovane
already working.
I nicknamed Dave HydroDave and we are thinking
about naming our Hydrovane Dave after, well, no one else but Dave.

arrival at Ensenada Grande, after a long day of cruising and buddy boating,
Chris
and Duane invited all 4 of us over to ‘Risk Taker’ for drinks and
snacks…

We’ve had the great pleasure of meeting Terry and Heidi of ‘Cetus’ during our
stay in La Paz. Terry and Heidi are accomplished sailors. And Terry is a published writer. He wrote ‘Adventures aboard Rick’s Place’, a novel based on his and Heidi's sailing adventures in the South Pacific. It is a great book. Wonderful, funny, entertaining. You can find it on Amazon. Don't miss it!
