We are well aware that other people are into the idea of these adventures, and I've got quite few friends that say they want to go on them, but it's just a little more complicated than that. First, almost no one can take the time off, and then it's a money thing too. Both of…
I never give myself enough time. I think I learn my lesson and try to plan ahead, but some things just never get fully finished no matter how much time I get. The boat came along just fine and with a few final touches all that was left was to buy our rope and rig…
It's one thing to build a boat to go float around on a lake, but when we were building ours, we constantly thought about it's weaknesses and whether this thing was fit to be the cradle that would keep us safe in that unforgiving tyrant called the Pacific Ocean. It was going to be our…

It's going to take little bit of foundation work here to get to the meat of this story, but it's a necessary evil. We can't just come plowing into your world with an amazing "season premiere", because this is real life, not Game of Thrones. It takes a year. Well, a year and a few…
As the story goes with all three of these trips so far, there has been months of planning that came before today to put together all of the interesting and not so interesting details of the Baja adventure that will unfold on May 28th. Come join us for what will be easily the rockiest of…
