Travels with SV Shannon's Spirit

Welcome to our blog; a collection of communiques about our travels, adventures and other tidbits of life that we happen upon. If you're interested in our sailing journey from Victoria to Mexico and up into the Sea of Cortez - you can read it in chronological order, starting in December 2010. We hope you will enjoy the read and choose to follow along as we ramble through life. The goal? To 'live' every day and adventure as long as we can. CJ and Kathy

Waiting for the storm

All hatches have been battened down, fenders, port and starboard, have been doubled, and the dinghy has been relocated to the back yard… oh, and we've put the snubbers on the dock lines. All is well on Shannon's Spirit and Abbey Acres is snug as a bug, including fireplace in the rec room and camp stove set up in garage in case of power outage. Ahhh, life is good. Hope your hatches are locked down and your lanterns are at the ready. Here comes winter! Always CJ

Beautiful Maple Bay

A beautiful, cool, sunny day reminds me why we moved here 20 years ago. This will be a very different winter for us as we've decided not to do our usual RV wander through the state parks of southern CA and AZ. Hopefully we'll get to see more sunny days between the rains and winds. No complaints though. We love it here.
Hope all is well with each of you. Always, CJ
