Biggie Kites

Adam makes *a lot* of progress with one days’ lessons. I should probably get OK with both my brothers being better at kiteboarding and spearfishing than me after 1/10th the hours spent on them. Sisters too, hopefully!:)

Jetski Summary

Time from dock to island party: ~3 hours. Time from island party to dock: 20 minutes. Adam hit 52 mph! Jetskis are great as long as the water is perfectly flat. Also the ocean is trying to kill you. Don’t think it is right now? You’re wrong: it’s just lulling you into a false sense… Continue reading Jetski Summary

Jetski “Party”

Island party was a bit too much, both the getting to the island part and the party. Legit, straight-up stupid of me to assume it was on the northern end of the island. Also dumb not to have left earlier, considering not sure where it was. Series of entirely preventable unfortunate events culminates in Adam… Continue reading Jetski “Party”

Cabo Pulmo

Bumpy basically from La Ribera down, but we made it. Ebike’s back tire not so much. Maintenance (and spare parts and repair materials) matters: shit out of luck until I can find a bike shop, as a I lack glue to go with my tube patches. Look at this palapa beauty / technology! Boatel: something… Continue reading Cabo Pulmo

air water

Some dirtbag innovation right here. Use power while our batteries are full (= vast majority of day) to run a dehumidifier. Because too lazy to investigate further if I need it, drip through my ~.1-micron camping filter. Gravity powering it, from atop the trailer. Outlet with timer (via wifi, because what I had) turns it… Continue reading air water
