This week it’s finally time to head to Catalina Island!

We provision, fill up on water, and hit (not literally) the fuel dock. But the Southern California weather gods were not smiling upon us. Some major fog rolled in and surfaced just how different we are when it comes to risk taking.

Guadalajara Day 4 | We trekked out of the city to the agave fields and visited a tequila distillery and several noteworthy spots where this magical liquor was born including Amatitián and the town of Tequila. No humans were harmed in the drinking of this beverage… And, a good time was had by all. #tequila #guadalajara #sailingcouple #landexcursion #nothungover
Guadalajara Day 3 | We took an Uber to the town of Tlaquepaque, a neat spot with lots of folk art, ceramics, galleries, shopping, and restaurants. We ate a late lunch @restaurante_casa_luna and were treated to the music stylings of a great band @alfonsinamusica . #guadalajara #tlaquepaque #sailingcouple #avoidingboatwork
Day two in Guadalajara. We’re packing in the fun! Breakfast at La Antigua Waffles City, highlights tour around the city center with Yami, a spirited game of Yaniv, and a fancy dinner Bruna. We tried 10 different Moles. Yum.🔹 Somehow Tim and I manage to visit cities when they are in the midst of a heat wave. Only tourists wear shorts… we are definitely tourists. 🥵
Since the boat is not going anywhere, we made a quick decision to journey to Guadalajara with our pals from s/v Island Summers. We took a SUPER COMFORTABLE three hour bus trip from Bucerías, found our AirBnB, explored the neighborhood, ate tortas ahogadas (drowned sandwiches), grabbed some provisions, and toasted the day. #landexcursion #guadalajara #tortasmigue #tortasahogadas #sailingcouple
Another furry guest for the day… Riley’s in the house! ❤️
How do you get a fuel injector that is frozen in place due to corrosion out? 1) hire a professional if you e never done this 2) soak in Liquid Wrench or the like over night — squirting it multiple times 3) Tap if needed 4) Apply heat (don’t burn down boat) 5) Be patient. 🔹 Javier, our wonderful mechanic, worked at this for about 1.5 hours. 🔹 Here’s a peek into our journey. #sailing #yanmar
