...........FALCON VII........... Horizon Fever - working on a cure

After cruising B.C. and Alaska for 25 years, in 2010 we moved aboard Falcon VII. After one more trip to Alaska in 2012 we sailed to Mexico. We enjoyed tropical cruising in the Sea of Cortez for 3 remarkable years. In 2016 we brought our trusty boat, Falcon VII, back to beautiful British Columbia to enjoy this part of the world again. Where and how we’ll travel next is still up in the air, but we do know one thing; for now, at least, the gypsy lifestyle feels right for us.

Here we are in front of Falcon VII in Victoria, BC.

Well, it's been a long time since we started this blog which was meant to be just a test run on how to start a blog. Since we found it next to impossible for our non-social media type brains to figure out how to erase it and start again, we decided to keep it and let it be dormant for a while until we actually started out on our "Mexico and Beyond".

Winter has come and gone while we've enjoyed living in front of the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC. Our downtown neighbourhood is now coming to life as summer is upon us. Musicians, artists, craftspeople and buskers line the Causeway walkway and tourists wander amongst them from morning to night. The days are longer and warmer but work continues on Falcon VII as we prepare her for our trip to Mexico, leaving these waters in late August.

Last summer (2012) we cruised up to SouthEast Alaska. It was our shake down cruise for heading south and off shore in August of 2013. It was our third trip to Alaska and our last for a long time as we'll be in warmer waters for the next while.

Here's a few photos from the trip.
