We thought our Perkins 4.108 engine troubles were behind us when we left California, but while transiting the Sea of Cortez, Mexico, we faced a complete engine failure. After limping back to La Cruz from Isla Isabel, we dug into the issue and discovered—surprise, surprise—the same old problem returned. This time, we’re diving deeper to see if we can rebuild the Perkins 4.108 engine, or if we’ll need to replace it entirely. Will it be a fix or a full replacement? Watch now to find out!

Unfortunately my tan lines are officially gone. I think that means it’s time to head back to Mexico… right? 😅 Warmer days and never ending summers are on the horizon… big news coming soonish 😉

Throwback to one of the oldest videos on my phone: #SummerSailstice 2021 at Prisoners Cove, Santa Cruz Island, rafted up alongside SV Azimuth (@lumonaut @cloudsformoverland) ⚓️ Despite the chilly weather, our cockpit was warmed by morning coffee, heartfelt conversations, and incredible friendships 💕

SV Azimuth is now on the east coast, and our pals @qmtravels are preparing to sail south to Mexico (finally 😉) and we are home at @runagroundranch making some BIG plans for our cruising adventures… stay tuned 🙌

I asked AI based on our past conversations what it thought my life looked like… I have to say it’s pretty darn accurate! Even captured me in the middle of writing something 😂 What do you think?
