Here’s some info from our just-finished transom/backstay chainplate reinforcement project. Two years ago we added a hydraulic backstay adjuster which has been a great addition for rig adjustment while sailing. The downside was that this season I found the transom pulling off of the knees...
After spending the New Year at Marina Puerto Escondido we cruised south and stopped briefly in La Paz for provisions and fuel. Then it was on to the mainland!
We crossed over to the mainland from Bahia los Muertos to Mazatlan. Our Hydrovane did a great job driving the boat on the reach across...
I’ve been meaning to post a trip update for a while now and between connectivity and things to do / places to see / people to meet haven’t gotten around to it until now. It’s amazing how our days fill up even though we have nothing in particular to do!
Here are some highlights:

The morning after checking in we got started pulling sails and...

Had to dress warmly but...
Replaced the engine control cables on Quincy this weekend. Not technically difficult but time consuming. Lots of disassembly and reassembly. Edson 335 pedestal. Yanmar 3YM30 engine. Replaced wheel brake and serviced shaft bearings while in there, not sure how you’d access the cable clamp inside...
