Sea of Cortez webpage additions

Post by Chinook »

Thanks to my son's expertise, our Sea of Cortez cruise journal webpage has some nice additions. The photos can now be viewed full screen. Just click on the photo. It will load supersize at first. Give it a little time, and the picture will adjust to full screen. We're also in the process of adding some video clips. On my computer, they're loading very slowly, and one or two don't want to open, but if you give a couple a try, hopefully they'll work. At the end, I've summarized some of the details of the trip, and have attached a list of boat equipment and our initial provisioning list. I may also attach a revised provision list for 2 people/2 months, which is based on an inventory of our copious leftovers after we got home. I still intend on doing a final edit, to clean things up a bit. Site address is:

Mike,

Your lists regarding "equipment & provisions" are good references for any sized trip. (hopfully I can make a print out when my new printer arrives). Ive always wanted some idea what you "extended trip" folks take along, especially regarding equipment, intertainment, & provisions. We're accustomed to 1-3 day overnighters, which are easily planned. But, anything longer than that, your lists and ideas will be of great value.

Thanks,
Louis

WOW!!! What a story/travelogue. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Stopped what I was doing and read/viewed the whole thing. Of course, by then I was "Chin-hooked" and had to read the Alaska trip, too. You guys are great writers/chroniclers! You put them together as if this reader was on the trips with you guys. You really demonstrate the fun and capabilities of our MacGregors. Bet if you put both trips out in a single book you'd have a best seller? Hope to use yours as a cruising guide to follow.......

Mike, reading your travelogue was great. In my last 2 Decembers my wife and I visited (we drove without the boat from Vancouver, BC) many of the places you mention, San Felipe, San Carlos, Loreto, Mulege, La Paz, in Baja. It's simply beautiful down there.

I hope some day to have the guts of doing what you did, trailer the boat from the Pacific Northwest and spend 3 months down there (3 years to retirement...)

I'll keep referring back to your log and pictures, they are inspirational!
