A different type of adventure, As Ruben and Robbie join friends Tim and Ramie as they delve into setting up a 2nd homestead in Playa el Coyote in Baja California. They have arrived and begin a 6 month labor intensive working vacation... My primary role while traveling down Mexico-1 to our favorite place in the Baja is that of navigator.

This is the 'big leg' of the summer, perhaps 3500 miles of sailing from the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico - up to the Strait of Juan de Fuca that separates Canada from the United States. First land fall is intended to be Friday Harbor US Customs dock, in the San Juan Islands....

Rob Tyron and LaDonna Bubak officially left the real world at the end of 2013 and entered a new phase in life, "Eternal Cruising" as LaDonna put it. Ah, that's the life! No longer doing the heavy lifting at Latitude 38, the former editor recently tied the knot with her long time beau and off they went eastward back in time to the Delta. This morning's post on social media shows that sometimes, even the easy life aint that easy. She asks: "...

Rob Macfarlane continues his travels south of the border, having enjoyed a couple pleasant solo weeks in the Gulf of California as far north as Isla Partida.
