                  Pura Vida

Welcome to the adventures of Pura Vida, our Catalina 400 sailboat  purchased in 2005 in San Diego, California. Join us as we sail the Sea of Cortez, and as we enjoy seeing our daughter and her family  living in San Carlos, Mexico.

After we both retired  it was time to get serious about sailing. We purchased our Catalina 400 and had a great time sailing the waters of Southern California until we sailed with the Baja Ha Ha group to Mexican waters in 2007. We will permanently keep the boat in the Sea of Cortez sailing out of our slip in the San Carlos Marina.

Enjoy our trip south with the Baja Ha Ha,  a 14 year tradition for those wanting to sail to warm waters, by going to: http://www.baja-haha.com/  to see the route and learn about this cruise, then click on our Past Adventures and Photo Gallery. The first 3 days were a non-stop sail to Turtle Bay, staying there for 2 days, then another 2 day sail to Santa Maria Bay for a stop of 2 days, and finally into Cabo San Lucas for the "we've cheated death again" celebration! What a blast! We met so many wonderful people and have new cruising friends in the Sea of Cortez for years to come.

Next, come with us as we sail south to Puerto Vallarta in October 2008. Log on often and watch for the pictures and diary of our adventures visiting Mazatlan and Zihuatanejo over the winter.  We welcome visitors/crew to have fun with us.
Mexicana Airlines flies directly into Puerto Vallarta daily from Los Angeles.
