After a long sail……..birds started appearing around the boat. We must be getting close to Isabella island, land of the booby (no not what your thinking…..I’m talking about birds!) But you can imagine how many jokes were exchanged over this. Actually, we had a boobie bird on the bow for the entire night and through […]

So exploring the island was much more exciting for me. I LOVE running around in my bare feet and bikini exploring an […]

We spent the following day getting ready for the next leg of our journey. This meant zooming around Mazatlan in a pulmonaria Pulmonario is a little volkswagon looking car, that is open to the air (hence the word pulmonario…..means lungs) It feels like your in a golf cart. We did a huge shopping trip. Spirits […]
