A Family Afloat

About A Family Afloat

I'm a mother of 3 amazing kids (currently 18, 13, and 8) and a wife of an amazing husband. We sailed our boat to Mexico with a sail plan of going around the world. In August, 2015 we cruised out "the Gate" of San Francisco and spent 2 months going down the coast of California and 2 years exploring Mexico. From Mexico, we sailed down to Costa Rica and Panama, then across to the Galapagos. We crossed the Pacific to French Polynesia In April, 2018, from the Galapagos. Now we have landed in New Zealand, have been based here for 2 years, and where we are open to stay for a little while...

We left Sausalito Tuesday, June 17th, after dinner to start our trip from Horseshoe Cove. A beautiful setting, under the North end of the Golden Gate Bridge. A perfect way to start our trip. We had a leisurely breakfast on Wednesday then set sail out “the gate”. After a day and a half of mostly all down wind sailing we arrived in Morro Bay, dropped the anchor, and enjoyed a nice dinner. Because it is bad luck to leave port on a Friday, we stayed in Morro Bay another day. We spent Friday showering, doing laundry, getting a few more fresh fruits and veggies, and spending time with our good friend DJ.
