Au Revoir, Adios, Farewell From La Paz - Puddle Jump on Shindig







Meet s/v SHINDIG, a beautiful Oyster 485, our home for the next few weeks. Here she is racing in the Banderas Bay Regatta, 2013. (all photos courtesy of Shindig Sailing)


Tom and Sylvia are aboard the good ship SHINDIG, bound for French Polynesia. 

Today we leave the dock at La Paz and will head to a nearby anchorage to wait for a northerly that is supposed to arrive on Thursday. We'll use those winds to kick start us on our journey across the Pacific.

We will also try to post to our own site if possible.

The Crew:




Sylvia and Tom

JD



Captain Rob
And a huge thanks to the ground crew: SHINDIG owner Nancy (Rob's wife) and her sister Elaine (JD's wife) for all the work they put in to helping get SHINDIG ready for her next adventure. 

JD, Elaine, Nancy, Rob


We are excited and honored to be a part of it.

  1. Wow, it's been a week, and you've just passed the 1000 mile mark. You know I miss you all! Glad that we can remain the virtual ground-based crew. Hasta Pronto en Marquesas! Nancy
