Finding Our Sailing Community in La Cruz & Preparing for Baja [Eps 6]
⛵ Catching Up with Our Baja Adventure!
In this episode, we take you back to the start of our Baja journey-six months after we left the marina and dove headfirst into life aboard our 1989 Catalina 36, Tengai. While cruising brings incredible lessons in self-reliance, it can also feel isolating at times. But the support and camaraderie we found with fellow sailors in La Cruz made all the difference! 💙
Highlights:
Sailor Friends in La Cruz: We connected with a vibrant community of world-traveling sailors, including bar owners Max & Karen, who welcomed us into the sailor’s nest at Lusty’s. Petra even jumped behind the bar to help with our cruising kitty. 🍻
Learning from the Best: La Cruz offered a wealth of free workshops and clinics for sailors. From medical training to rigging inspections, we took every chance to prepare for the open seas. Little did we know, the skills we gained here would prove invaluable when Petra got stung by a stingray months later. 🏥
Conquering Fears: Petra overcame her fear of heights through rock climbing classes. Now, she’s the first to volunteer to climb the mast! 🧗‍♀️
Hard Work Behind the Scenes: Although it may look like we were just enjoying life, we were working tirelessly to get Tengai ready for our Baja adventure-ticking off one project after another. From installing Spartite at the mast step to getting our rigging inspected, the to-do list was never-ending! 🛠️
What You'll See:
Sailing Adventures: Whether we were racing in beer can races or cruising in Banderas Bay, we seized every opportunity to sail and improve our skills. 🌊
Life in La Cruz: This colorful town comes alive during high season, and we soaked in every moment-enjoying live music, festivals, and the unique rhythm of the cruising life. 🎶
Shoutouts: You'll spot some familiar faces from popular sailing channels, including Ruth & Gareth from Rediviva, Marissa & Chris from Avocet, and more! If you love sailing vlogs, you’ll recognize these trailblazers.
Why Watch:
Learn how we transformed fear into fun (like rock climbing and mast climbing!)
Discover the value of a strong sailing community
Get a peek behind the scenes of boat life-the hard work and the rewards
Join us on our journey from La Cruz to the Sea of Cortez and beyond!
