Cruising Community – the best Community

After a few weeks at the Cabrales Boatyard we can say: We made the right decision to come here. Sometimes our situation is a bit overwhelming, but the company we have here makes everything a better.

Where there is Light, there is Shadow

The work seems endless and a recommendation of a professional makes us doubt our approach. Time to take a day off and celebrate my birthday.

Is this your first boat?

The honeymoon is over and we are daring the big projects. As expected we encounter obstacles that have to be overcome. Our motto is: one step at a time.

We have arrived in Puerto Peñasco!

We made it! After an endlessly long journey with way too much luggage, we finally arrive at the boatyard in Puerto Peñasco and Milagros.

2020 you suck!

Unpredictability remains our loyal companion. Will we stay in Switzerland longer? The old year strikes and we take things as they come.

Puerto Peñasco makes Sailboats fly!

The time had come to embark on what would be our last couple days on the water. For two days straight we cruise further and further north. And in the end we get to know Milagros in her full size.

Santa Rosalia is a Lucky Draw!

To think that Santa Rosalia was just a lost place in the middle of nowhere was a mistake. Fortunately, Iñaki proved us wrong!

Los Frailes – a Touch of the South Seas

Milagros passes a cape! We sail to La Paz with stops in Cabo San Lucas and Los Frailes and leave the Pacific coast of the Baja California peninsula behind us.

The Curse of Mag Bay

We explore the small fishing village of Punta Magdalena, eat like kings (and queens) in the truest sense of the word, and face diesel engine problems.
