Our Favorite Websites
| Sula Adventures |
Our best boating friends' excellent web page on their adventures, including many trips that they've taken before. The Lockards, or the Sulas as we call them, have two kids, RJ and Kelsey, who are almost the same ages as Leif and Gage. Needless to say, we play much together! |
| Stargazer |
A fun young couple we ran into on the Baja Ha-ha. Nick and Nic really taught us how to have fun, and they provided many of the toys! They've now started to head back to San Francisco and hope to be in Australia by the end of the year to get married. |
| Rudderpost |
This is the website of our friends in Seattle, the Pellerins. Their son, Julian, became one of Gage's best friends when we lived there. They are not currently cruising out of the Seattle area, but they dream about it and came down to visit us in Puerto Vallarta. |
| Wyndeavor |
More friends we met on the Baja Ha-ha. This family has a boy and a girl younger than Leif and Gage, but age doesn't matter too much when you're cruising. They are currently heading out to the South Pacific. |
| Desiderata |
We hooked up with this kid boat in La Paz. They cruised the Sea of Cortez last year, and are currently ahead of us, having gone south earlier than we did. We hope we'll run into them again soon. |
| Con Te Partiro |
Friends we met on the Baja Haha who own an HR 36 and are from the Seattle area. |
| Northwest Yacht Repair |
The website of our rigger in Seattle. We recommend Todd Rickard to anyone needing boat work done in the Seattle area. There just isn't anyone who does a better job around, and this includes custom work as well. |
| Bluewater Insurance |
Boat and major medical insurance for cruisers. They are very friendly to short-handed cruising couples. |
| West Coast Yachts |
If you're looking for a new Hallberg-Rassy in the Seattle area, there's no better place to get it than the authorized dealer: West Coast Yachts in Seattle. They are also an authorized Swan dealer. |
| Swiftsure Yachts |
A wonderful place to buy or sell a used boat anywhere, Swiftsure Yachts is run by our good friends Pete McGonagle and Brad Baker. These guys are great and can help you find your dream boat, giving you good advice and lots of help along the way. |
