Current journeys and future travel plans

I just returned from three weeks in Europe visiting family and friends in both Germany and Croatia. This trip included my usual stops in Munich, Cres, and Buzet with day trips to various other places. Leaving balmy warm Mexico for chilly Europe took some getting used to but I was fortunately didn’t experience the usually persistent Bura wind conditions while in Cres, this kept the temperatures mild. Nice enough even to go for a boat ride.

Our expenses as liveaboards (2022 Update)

This post is an update to an older post from before we cast off, called “Budgeting Expectations“.

It has been almost two years since my original post about our budget aboard Rua Hatu. After cruising for a while now, let’s review our spending over the last two years.

The family is in town

My family, the Taggarts, were in town visiting last week. Five days of visiting beaches, walking the Malecon, snorkeling with whale sharks, and eating delicious food.

A windy week at Isla San Francisco

Last week we sailed north, which we had waited for due to the typical strong winds from the north during winter, called Northers.

It has been a minute

I know, I know… Blogging hasn’t been high on my to-do list as of late. You see there’s been a LOT going on aboard SV Rua Hatu this last year; we’ve covered 1000s of sea miles, made it from Port Angeles, WA to Acapulco, Guerrero and back up Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, hauled out twice to scrape and schlep paint off/on the boat and to tinker with pipes, wires, lines and electricity, not to mention all the hundreds of amazing anchorages, places and people we’ve encountered along the way. So this post will be only a brief recap of goings-on, but I will try to fill in more highlights from our adventures in the months to come (as well as share more about what’s going on in real-time).
