I am Bek, a wanderer learning the ropes in the Sea of Cortez before refitting the boat for an ocean voyage. The boat is a Contessa 32 that lived in La Paz for decades under a caring captain until I fell in love with her and bought her. We (the yacht and I) are cruising the Sea of Cortez for the time being. Although the single-handing experience has been a rewarding one, I have enjoyed taking on crew and sharing the love of sailing with others.

The boat is an absolute sailing machine. She sprints ahead of other boats like a dream with 30 degree of apparent wind at the nose. Yet, she has the seakindly demeanor of a heavy cruising boat with half of her weight being in the keel. Her sister ships have survived the infamous Fastnet race of 1979 and brought these boats timeless reverence and legendary status among the admirers and haters alike. She is the prettiest and fiercest boat in the entire Sea of Cortez.

My cruising style is a bit laid back. My time is divided between the islands, anchorages and the port. Currently making expeditions out of Marina Puerto Escondido. At anchorages, I like to snorkel, spearfish for dinner, go for a hike, and read. I try not to miss a good windy day to go somewhere new. If I am at port with no wind, I try to cross the mountains over Baja and surf for a week or two on the Pacific side.
