Sails, sunshine, jalapeno cheetos, Simon and Garfunkel...*cue SpongeBob singing "It's the best day ever!"

Hal, I retired from the US Military, Marines [4 years] and Army [16 years]. I would be interested in you sharing some reflections about your time working for the US Prison System.

That’s a great topic! We will fit that one in soon! Thank you for your comment and thank you for your service!

[@markbuskens6070]

Nice work,looks like a great first day of sailing into Mexico.Good job getting into your slip too 👍Can’t wait for the next episode 😊

[@lundtravels]

I love watching your journey! You two are the bravest humans I know! Safe sailing to Ensenada.

[@stevenplancich6449]

Remember to ALWAYS have a Harness & Lifeline when on Deck at Sea👍 Bon Voyage😎

[@sailingtashi]

Yes I’ve been a terrible example 🤨 it’s easy to forget safety when it feels so mellow. 😏

[@TRCAdventures]

You guys really look like you got your groove on now. What a difference! Super exciting.

[@sailingtashi]

Yes! We are learning how to make Tashi happy. ❤💨⛵️

[@bevrodriguez2613]

Don’t forget to go Tequila’s tasting in Ensenada. Love seeing “Sailing Tashi!”! Keep them coming. Love you guys too! 🤗😘

[@sailingtashi]

@@bevrodriguez2613 love you too!!!

[@stevenplancich6449]

On Provisioning, Remember to get Items that ya can “Trade” with other Cruisers or Locals😜 Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎

[@sailingtashi]

@@stevenplancich6449 great suggestion!

[@dustinwilton5343]

I was meaning to mention, if you haven’t read it yet, check out “Two Years Before the Mast” by Richard Henry Dana. Non fiction about Dana who spent 2 years sailing the same route you are in the 1830’s when Mexico still owned California. Might make for some interesting reading during down time.

[@sailingtashi]

Thank you for the recommendation. Alicia is an avid reader!

[@dustinwilton5343]

@@sailingtashi my pleasure.😊Stay safe in Mexico. BTW, are you guys planning to come back the same way or are you circumnavigating? Coming back is “uphill” is why I ask.

[@sailingtashi]

@@dustinwilton5343 we are not planning to head that far north again. We plan to end up on the other side of the US eventually. ☺️

Fun! Which marina did you stay at in Ensenada? Pro/cons?

[@sailingtashi]

We will give details in our next video. But we stayed at Baja Naval. Very tight spaces but they were accommodating.

[@christiepooh]

@@sailingtashi we are heading there during the next weather window. hence asking for the details early. :)

[@sailingtashi]

@@christiepooh it’s a really great place to check in to Mexico. All of the marinas help with the process. It only took about an hour and we were good to go!

[@renardmaiuri]

What size & year is your IP?

[@sailingtashi]

Tashi is a 2005 Island Packet 420. She is the perfect size for two and some crew. ☺️

[@haroldhettema1909]

If you’re are interested Alicia does a really nice tour of the boat in episode 4. I believe the title is “Life on a Boat after life behind bars”. I know the title doesn’t seem to match the contents of the video but it does once you watch it. 👍🏻

[@renardmaiuri]

@@haroldhettema1909 thanks. I’m familiar with the boat. I’ve owned 3. My sailing area was Florida and Bahamas. But because I live in Oregon I’ve always been curious about making the journey you are on. Where did you start your journey?

[@haroldhettema1909]

We started the journey up in the Sacramento Delta. Spent a year preparing the boat there and then hit the Pacific Ocean heading south from the San Francisco Bay Area. We are now in La Paz Mexico. The videos are a little behind.

[@renardmaiuri]

@@haroldhettema1909 thanks. We’re looking forward to the upcoming segments.
