covers about 4,800 kilometres (3,000 mi) of Ocean, so the trip needs to be planned well.

We are slowly wrapping up our boat projects in La Paz and hope to leave here by March 1st.  

Reflections on dentists visits in La Paz

At any time, a great white shark may have about 300 teeth in various stages of development within its jaw. Humans have only a maximum of 32, this can be a problem.

These last two weeks we have been hard at work on the boat. We’ve been so busy, it has actually been hard to find time to sit down and update the blog!
