October of ‘99 is short and sweet with a brief recap of the summer highlights and an update of the extensive repair work being done on the keel of our Wandrin’ Star.

November of ‘99 is slow, but steady while we pass the time waiting for repairs to be completed on the keel of the Wandrin’ Star.

It’s December of 1999 - who’s ready to ring in the new millennium with us?!
We are happy to get the Star back in the water, where she belongs. Lots of boat projects help pass the time before we cross to the Baja side and get our 6th cruising season really started.

Well, it turns out Y2K wasn’t the big scare everyone was bracing for!
In January 2000, we scoot down to windy La Paz, belly up to the dock and spend a little time with some familiar faces before hopping over to the mainland, down to La Cruz, our home away from home.

February 2000 is pretty mellow. We say goodbye to La Cruz for what would end up being our last time. We mosey up to Mazatlan where we enjoy some time there with our friends in the marina and I turn 13.

March of 2000 has arrived and it’s time to head northbound, toward San Carlos. We say goodbye to the crew on Angela, cross over to Baja and island-hop our way up into the Sea of Cortez.

April 2000 was a pretty busy month as we scoot our way up from Escondido to Isla Carmen, San Juanico, and Pulpito before making our way into Conception Bay and then crossing over to San Carlos. We enjoy some dolphins in the bay at Pulpito, and I go hiking the gals to the top of the Pulpit, itself. Dad enjoys lots more clamming and fishing with the guys.

May of 2000 has arrived and it’s time to prep the boat for summer. Before we pack everything up, Peggy and Caleb come down for a visit and we take a trip out to a nearby anchorage. I ride back up and stay with them while Mom and Dad come up a week later.
