News, notes and photos from the skipper of Sea Story. Jan 28, 2009. Down Baja and Whale Tales. Veteran Mexico crew members Doug Larson and Dennis Flick showed up in San Diego right on schedule, and we set off late in the afternoon of January 14th for what proved to be the easiest trip ever down the coast of Baja California. Unfortunately, because of the scarcity of wind, it turned out to be the trip with the least sailing as well. Dennis and Doug taking a swim off the stern of Sea Story in Ensenada de lo...

News, notes and photos from the skipper of Sea Story. Oct 21, 2009. Another lucky break; hurricane Rick turned east and totally missed the Baja pennisula. Hopefully, this will be the last big one for this season, but the hurricane season doesn't end until mid-November, so we're not out of the woods yet. Posted by Jerry Rouillard. Oct 19, 2009. Initially it was forecast to pass right over La paz, but the track has been adjusted southward and it may even miss Cabo San Lucas as it heads east. It's been a to...

News, notes and photos from the skipper of Sea Story. Mar 27, 2008. Marina Vallarta Marina Vallarta This is the main channel leading into Marina Vallarta. The marina is packed with a a lot of high-end recreational boats and fishing boats that cater to Mexican and foreign tourists.

News, notes and photos from the skipper of Sea Story. Jun 23, 2008. Back in Marina Bay. After six months, Sea Story is at home in the same berth we left in Richmond last November.
