As the old saying goes…
“The two best days of a sailor’s life are the day he buys his boat and the day he sells his boat.”
Well, let’s just say we’re riding pretty high right now.
       We were sad to see her pull away down the road, but we knew it meant that we were one step closer to sailing the Sea of Cortez.  Yep, we sold La Brisa last week, our 20’ Balboa that traveled us to all the islands of Flathead Lake last summer. She was the boat that we were laying in when we hatched this crazy idea, and now she’s now in a good home on the banks of Canyon Ferry Reservoir with good people in good waters.  We’ll miss you old girl!
A remembrance…

 La Brisa anchored up off of Cedar Island, Flathead Lake |

 I think Wylie is on the helm here

 Two things we'll miss: plentiful freshwater and backyard fresh eggs |

 La Brisa anchored with her big sis Spindrift |

 Booooooooooorrrrrrring! |

 That's a lot of people on a little boat |

We recently learned there is anther set of two best days. The day you leave port and the day you get into port! 🙂
Ha! So true…and I know you two are speaking straight from experience! Have you just gotten in from a rough passage?
Funny you ask… We just got into Cabo San Lucas after a four night passage from Turtle Bay. One day and night of which was VERY trying!
Wow! I was literally just reading a book last night where the couple had a tough passage on exactly this leg: from Turtle Bay to Cabo! (Trading Ordinary For Extraordinary) I hope you guys have a cold, refreshing beverage to enjoy now that you’re safe into the harbor!
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do think that
you should write more about this subject, it might not be a taboo matter but usually people don’t speak about such issues.
To the next! All the best!!
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
However think of if you added some great pictures or video clips to give
your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site
could undeniably be one of the best in its field.
Fantastic blog!

I believe everything said made a great deal of sense.
However, what about this? suppose you added a little
content? I am not saying your information is not good.,
but suppose you added something to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean The Two
Best Days | Controlled Jibe is a little vanilla. You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news headlines to grab viewers to click.
You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your
blog a little livelier.
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or
copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all
over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions
to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d certainly
appreciate it.
I am not sure where you are getting your info, but
great topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more.
Thanks for great information I was looking for this info for my
mission.

subscribe. Thanks.
