Hypnautic

It was a fabulous afternoon of team building for colleagues from the San Diego County Bar Association. A team that works together grows together.

It was a day to remember! Celebrating Michael's 40th birthday aboard HYPNAUTIC was an absolute blast!

There’s something truly magical about spending a sunny day on the bay with friends, laughter echoing across the water, and good vibes all around.

From soaking up the sun to dancing like nobody's watching, everyone made memories that will last a lifetime!

Whether they were splashing in the water or just enjoying each other’s company, the festive spirit was contagious!

Let us know if you want to schedule some time on Hypnautic for your special event.

Thank you SV Blue Safari for taking this shot of Hypnautic while we were in Isla La Partida. It was a beautiful anchorage.

Thought you might like this shot.

Hypnautic is Almost Home!

Alone on the fly bridge of Hypnautic for my second solo night watch. Surrounded by darkness, the only solace is the gentle glow of our buddy boat's light ahead, cutting through the vast sea. Peaceful yet intimidating, engulfed by the never-ending expanse of water.

This is called PROGRESS!

After three days of non-stop motor sailing, we've finally made it to Ensenada with the wind at our backs! Our sails are full, the sun is trying to come out, and San Diego is calling our names. What an adventure it's been so far - here's to smooth seas and fair winds as we continue our journey home!

Not too bad being stuck in Cabo!

Hypnautic processed paperwork to check out of Cabo so we can leave Saturday, weather permitting. Keeping fingers crossed. It’s been a fabulous 3 week stay.

While it has been a great 7 months exploring Mexico and spending time with friends down here, we are ready to get home to some cooler weather.

Stuck in Cabo~

Hypnautic and crew are captive in Cabo San Lucas like a bunch of castaways! Our grand plan to set sail home with friends and buddy boats around May 1 turned out to be a fabulous dream gone bad thanks to wild winds and monstrous waves. Best thing about being stuck here is the warm weather and fabulous restaurants.

Now we're hunkered in the anchorage, surrounded by a flotilla of boats all hoping for a smooth voyage North by the end of May. Who knew waiting for a weather window could feel like a never-ending vacation? The soonest weather window right now looks like it will be May 11th before we can leave. With the weather Gods unpredictable tempertantrums that can always change again.

With hurricane season fast approaching on June 1, our Catamaran might just turn into a speedboat to make it home in time for the insurance deadline! It's going to be a nail-biting race against the weather gods and bureaucratic paperwork. Who knew our 7 month adventure would come with a side of meteorological stress and insurance-induced urgency?

At least we're in good company, even the mega yachts are joining the party! Fingers crossed for a favorable report soon so we can all sail away together!

Hypnautic always welcomes guests aboard but this one is a bit different.

Farewell Bahia Concepcion! What an incredible week of adventure and relaxation in this tropical paradise.

Grateful for the outstanding hospitality from Nathan Burbey and his wife Melissa at Posada Concepcion, making our stay even more enjoyable.

And a huge shoutout to Armando's beachside and open air restaurant for feeding us like royalty every night - no cooking or cleanup required!

We are refreshed and ready for new experiences as we set sail towards La Paz to meet friends who will join us for an unforgettable week of sailing, margaritas and adventures in Paradise.

Mother Nature Strikes Again!

After a beautiful 5 day visit to Isla Coronado, Mother Nature decided to spice things up with a surprise midnight dance party featuring 27-30 knot winds! NO, these were not predicted when we checked the weather windows and looked forward to spending another beautiful day there.

Mike, our fearless anchor guardian, got up and did night watch, battling the winds like a champ while we spun around in the nautical equivalent of a washing machine. Winds were so strong, the Paddle Boards flew up on the deck around 4:30am and Jay pulled himself up out of bed to assist with anchoring them down. It was crazy!

Early yesterday we high tailed (hauled a$$) out of there looking for some wind protection and escaped to San Basilio, where even the wind takes a chill pill for a little while, although the winds did hit 27 knots last night, we were anchored in protection from the winds and slept like babies.

San Basilio is a beautiful hideaway 34 miles North of Loreto, Mexico—where even the wildest winds whisper lullabies! A perfect place with crystal clear, warm water, to swim and paddleboard along with many hiking trails. Yep, Jay got me out there today to hike over to the other side of the island to see its pristine beaches but no wind protection. Based on weather predictions it looks like San Basilio is a perfect spot for the next few days to play.

Next stop: Bay of Concepcion, where hopefully the winds are too tired to play pranks!

New Paradise Found!

Just when we thought we found paradise, Isla Coronado swooped in and stole our hearts! Sorry, Playa Balandra, you've been bumped to second place.

Isla Coronado boasts warm, crystal-clear waters, secluded beaches, tranquil seas perfect for snoozing, and the most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets you could ever imagine. NEVER have we ever seen anything so beautiful in all of our travels.

We planned for a quick visit of a day or two, but here we are on day 5—each day harder to say goodbye. Oh, I cannot forget the playful dolphins and even whale sightings!

Life truly couldn't be sweeter. Tomorrow, we set sail for Bahia San Juanito (Bahia San Basilio), hoping it's just as dreamy as this slice of heaven.
