We’re home, or at least close enough to home to ‘call it’ so. We’ve sailed from Maple Bay, BC to La Paz, Mexico; we’ve visited many, interesting towns and areas along the North American coast; we’ve come to know the coastal/harbour areas of La Paz fairly well; we’ve explored some of the many islands on the Baja side of the Sea of Cortez; we’ve met up with multitudes of marine mammals and birds along the way; we’ve met many interesting and amazing people – most doing exactly the same thing; and we’ve learned tons about ourselves… our strengths, our weaknesses, our challenges and our goals. We’ve even had the opportunity to drive back from La Paz, paralleling our south-bound route and visiting some of the places we missed. What a trip! What an experience! Sailing will never be quite the same and our horizons have definitely been expanded! And, hopefully we have grown and developed personally as well.
Some of you will be new to reading this Blog. If you are, and you’re interested in our journey, please start at the beginning and travel with us as we journeyed south in our Ontario 32 sailboat the SV Shannon. For those of you who kept up with us along the way, thank you so much. While we enjoy writing, it is a blessing to have folks who actually enjoy reading what you write… so thank you again from the bottom of our ‘writers hearts’.
To all of you, we bid adieu for now. We’re home and it’s time for us to concentrate on our domestic life in Maple Bay, BC. We’re looking forward to spending time with family friends and to doing some of those things that owning a sailboat seem to preclude. Stuff like camping and golfing and just plain hangin’ out.. And, if we’re lucky, maybe someone will even take us sailing now and then :-)
So, we won’t be writing any more blog posts for now. We’ll leave it here.. and take up again in the fall when we will be continuing our adventure in Mexico. Until then, enjoy your lives, each and every day, and thanks for joining us on our journey.
Carolyn, Kathy and Princess Sophie.
PS: For those of us following our return trip, I forgot to mention, we came through the US/Canada border without a problem, dropped off Vicky's stuff,and were in Richmond by the afternoon of Day 16 of our return drive... no sweat.
