Emerald Star

This is the website for the sailing vessel Emerald Star. She's a 1991 Cabo Rico 38. The website is going to be mostly photos and a bit of commentary on the places and experiences of the crew during the cruise that started July 31st, 2007.

What We're Doing

We're headed for Mexico! We left our slip in Alameda, California (near Oakland) at the end of July.

As far as the website design - it's a Yahoo template for business websites. Eventually we may change it to something more interesting, but then again, maybe we won't. The pages are in chronological order and are usually named by the places we stayed or the general area.

What's New?

As of 7/30/2008

We're about ready to leave Santa Rosalia and head north towards Bahia de Los Angeles. Santa Rosalia is a very interesting town that was constructed by a French copper mining company in the late 1800's. We'll add some pictures in a few weeks. We haven't downloaded the pictures from the "portable"  (waterproof) camera in a while so the new pictures are all from the boat.

As of 07/09/2008

We're back in Loreto for one last grocery shop before heading north to San Juanico. Over the past six weeks or so we've been zigzagging between the islands, Loreto (groceries), Juncalito (dog paradise) and Puerto Escondido (laundry). We'd go to Loreto for a day to buy groceries and catch up on internet stuff, then go to the islands for days. Pyramid Cove on Isla Danzante was great! We were there for 5 days. We've been to most of the anchorages at Isla Carmen (the favorite being Puerto Ballandra) and we've been to Isla Coronados three times.
