Category: Humble Beginnings

We are new to the sailing world. Follow our humble beginnings here!


Finally in the water!!!

The time had finally come. The moment we had been waiting for was finally here: Milagros got water around her freshly restored booty again.

We’re Diesel Mechanics Now!

After 9 months at the boatyard, we finally wanted to finish. Therefore, nothing, but nothing at all should stop us. But we faced complications with our engine.

A Day to Forget About

The pouring rain hurricane Nora sent to Peñasco washed our dreams of finishing our time on the hard anytime soon down the drain. We have to deal with a cosiderable hit…

The First Nasty Surprise

Our refit progressed on all fronts like a freight train. But Milagros had her first nasty surprise in store for us.  

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall

Before we left for Switzerland, we wanted to finish a few projects – mostly with success. We also fought our way through the Mexican jungle of bureaucracy.

Scratching the Surface – from Agua Verde to San Carlos

After 10 days without internet and with our time schedule in mind, we left Agua Verde. Our route took us further north and ultimately, we crossed the Sea of Cortez to San Carlos.

Activity Holiday in the Sea of Cortez

The main goal of our stay on Anila is to train our sailing skills. But relaxation is not neglected. We get the full Sea of Cortez active holiday programme.

A Surprise in La Paz

On the way to La Paz, we come together with fellow sailors and explore Isla Coronado. But time is pressing, because we have a surprise planned in La Paz.

This Is An Emergency!

We experience first-hand how quickly a simple passage can turn into an emergency. We got lucky big time.
