It is time to share the blog.

Malo is our C&C 37 plus sailboat, that my husband Dan and I bought in March 2016.  The goal is  to go cruising in Mexico and depending how that goes, perhaps other destinations too.   Now 16 months later, we are nearing the completion of the first phase of this endeavor; that is, buying and fixing up a boat.  When a favorable weather window occurs around September 1, 2017, we plan to sail south. You will have the opportunity to follow our tracks and our adventure if you so choose.

A couple months ago, I decided it was time to learn how to do a blog about this journey.  I choose to use Google Blogger which is a free service.  Dan was familiar with it from a previous blog he did, so that has helped.  But where and how to start? That was my dilemma.  Ultimately I decided to back track and begin when we first purchased Malo in Alemeda, California.  If you go to the archives, you can look back and see all the events that have led up to today.

There is also an option to sign up for e mail notices when I make  new posting going forward.

We have an Garmin InReach tracking device which will allow you to track our progress. https://share.garmin.com/BeverlyOConnell
There is a link to that on my blog as well.  I have not started the tracking yet, but will once we get going.

There is a link to a blog that Dan is doing called:  "One More Time"  https://onemoretimetosail.blogspot.com

Here is a photo of Malo as she sits on dock A South Beach Marina, Newport, Oregon.

I hope you enjoy the blog and stay tune for travel adventures to Mexico.
