Hi folks. Yes, i’ve gotten things completely out of order. Ravenswing made it home safely to San Francisco Bay, and we even managed to pull off a category win in the Petaluma River Lighted Boat Parade last week. That was a good recovery from our arduous long trip home from Mexico :)
But before we get into editing the “baja bash” footage, I finally got a set of videos made from last May’s really delightful couple of weeks cruise. Colin (son) flew to LA and joined me for the drive down Baja to the boat, and we had a GREAT two weeks together. In Loreto, we picked up brother-in-law Stephane from his bus ride up from Cabo San Lucas, so that he could do a sailing trip with us. His wife (my sis Allie) stayed at a beach house while we sailed the boat towards her. Then she came aboard for a few days.
The star of this trip was Ruby the lab. She loves going on the boat trips. And she cracks me up every day. What a nut.

Thanks for the video, Greg..great stuff. I’ll be heading down with Ptarmigan in about 3 weeks, and sorry to hear that I won’t likely be seeing Ravenswing! I’m working on a plan to sail through the Canal del Infiernillo, which is the passage between Isla Tiberon and the mainland. I’m dealing with getting permission from the Seri Nation at the moment, so we’ll see how that goes.
Anyways, happy holidays to you and yours, and I’ll look forward to seeing the video from the Bash.
Best,
Bo

My wife and I attended a talk several years ago in Saratoga about the restoration of the “Western Flyer”. The talk also included information on a return to the sites that Steinbeck and Doc had visited in the 1940’s. Doc supported himself by collecting sea creature specimens for schools. Doc and Steinbeck were drinking buddies; and took large quantities of beer and liquor on their trip to the Sea of Cortes. Probably not the case with “Western Flyer’s” scientific return.
