Welcome to our site!
Our goal with this site is to keep family and friends updated on our adventures. We want to stay connected with you! We hope to use this blog as a way to do that.
We will be sharing our thoughts on why we decided to do what we’re doing, how we decided to go where we are going, and then let you discover and explore the areas with us as we post images, videos and thoughts about what we are experiencing.
If you have questions or just want to get a hold of us, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Well…we asked…and then breathlessly discovered what we never would have guessed!
Here is the progression; from birth to adult.
We’ll start with a video showing how the sea shell egg case is laid. Amazing!
(We didn’t do this video. This is one of the videos we saw that took our breath away!)
Vi and Ridell are awesome neighbors!
They bought a ranch a couple of hours from Sisal 16 years ago. About 6 years ago they moved to the beach two houses down from us and took in these newbies shortly after we arrived.
I’ve done a lot of paddling while I was sitting down, but my sweetheart (Carma) has loved doing it standing up. Who am I to argue with someone I love this much. So I was excited. Three hours of sunrise tour standing on a stylized plank, covering numerous kilometers of still morning waters watching the sun come up.
Who doesn’t want to sail on captivating crystal waters of every blue hue?
So we did.
On a catamaran with three others and a crew of two.
We sailed in shallow waters azurely colored. We swam in the chest deep water’s of Pirate’s Canal. We ate a lunch of freshly cut mangoes and bananas and apples and kiwi in the almost 600 foot depth of the Black Cenote.
Five and a half hour drive, kitty-corner from Sisal on the Yucatan Peninsula. Recommended by people we had met. Off we went for eight days.
We were not impressed when we drove in. We ate a decent lunch on the strip along the highway coming into town, looked around a little, and found our way to our AirBNB. Nice place, but not on the water.
