RV Navigator Episode 27 5-08 RVing on Water

Published: May 1, 2008, 6:32 a.m.

b'It has always been one our dreams to sail the ocean blue on a small boat. The opportunity to act on this dream presented itself when we met a real sailor who was looking for a crew. This started our La Paz sailing adventure aboard the "Gato de Cortez" catamaran rented from "The Moorings" in La Paz Mexico. In late April we embarked on a 10 sail along the rugged coast line of the Baja. Ten days of complete wilderness on the water. Anchoring nightly in small protected coves, hiking the hill, walking the beaches where all part of the sailing experience. Although we never lost sight of land, the land was uninhabitable due to rough terrain and desert conditions. Thus there were no towns and only a few hearty fishermen scattered along the coast. Other than buying some fresh fish from them, we encountered no signs of human habitation during our sail. \\nWe share with our listeners how we provisioned and lived on the boat during the sail. Was it a hardship for your RV Navigator, who are so used to modern technology? Yes, but we did survive with many great stories. \\nHow is land RVing different from sea RVing? Put up your feet and listen to this unusual experience. You RV Navigators tell all and sare their hard earned insights.\\nAs always we appreciate your comments and suggestions both via email and listener comment line.
