About Us

Welcome to our blog, describing our voyage aboard the two BRAVO's; the first boat a Kelly Peterson 46 with homeport in Seattle, Washington. The second is a Boreal 52, launched in Treguier, France in February 2020.

We headed south from Seattle in 2010, and have been voyaging in one form or another since. Cheers, Adam and Cindi

Tomatlan Rambles

OK, 'Bravo' reaches a milestone.....2 blog posts in as many days.  Are we turning over a new leaf???  You (and we, for that matter!) will just have to check in and find out!!!

Cindi and I did a great hike over on the opposite shore of Bandaras Bay, across from our current location at La Cruz.  It took us 4 city buses to reach the town of Tomatlan, past Mismaloya, where John Huston filmed the classic movie, Night of the Iguana with Ava Gardner and Richard Burton a year or two ago.

At Tomatlan the road ended.  Along the shore, the jungle comes right down to the water, and an excellent foot path connects several small villages.  This path runs up and down continuous sets of stairs as it snakes up and over various rocky headlands.  All in all, it felt great to get out and stretch our legs.


















When we came upon this amazing stone wall surrounding a villa in the middle of the jungle, we felt like we were in a scene from Apocalypse Now, expecting to see Brando sitting behind the wall with his native minions.  In fact, the house seemed deserted, but in the gathering darkness, it allowed our imaginations some tasty heebie jeebies!!!






And here's a parting shot from our time spent a few weeks ago in Los Muertos, before crossing over from Baja.......
