outdoor rejuvenates!! some personal words that may help.... (English & Espanol).

 Being in the water and nature rejuvenates.( English)

 I have over 30 years, I am responsible, me, society and the environment. Some wrinkles, but 20GB body and emotional age of 10. Those who practice outdoor sports and especially in water, connected with the elements, earth, wind, water, wave energy, wind power etc., etc. You know what I'm talking about and is surely feel identified / a. Be doing sports and traveling and doing what one likes, it is the purest, magical and unique feeling there.
I feel physically and mentally healthy. Cheerful and energetic. Discover the world, places, people and energy that represents an unparalleled personal growth. Life surprise me and not the plan. I say crazy, tell me I'm lucky, I did it well, but the truth is that neither I thought let it happen, I conformed to the circumstances and live in happiness. We can choose to wake up sleeping in a bad mood and go on like this, or change radically and enjoy as if it were the first day of your new life. Power angry but forget it after 5 minutes.

 Enjoy the sun and rain, everything flows.
Eternal youth. Not immaturity or syndrome "Peter Pan", but is simply, is not filled with banal problems. My concerns are kind of weather it rain? Enter the swell? Blow? Size of board or sail to choose?, so I can enjoy that status and to have fun and enjoy my full session outdoors.
"Outdoor", that's the key, go outside, inside nothing happens, nothing changes outside opportunities, exchange experiences, experiences.

 I became a stronger person, a lot and learned a lot more, and yet I know nothing I became more innocent, simple.
Detachment from material, few things to worry and worry. The basics. Consumption consumes you and I have a deep desire to live and not be consumed.

 Dreams. They are ideas that I think, evolve with time and suddenly, I'm surprised they happen not know when or where, but are met. You have to connect with them, they are magic.

Positive social energy. Help others, not as economic aid, but a selfless acts, for example, discover that just smile to someone when you're on the street, it changes the energy, becomes positive. And that's no help ?, See the "B" side, and look for the good.

I found obstacles and challenges. The pass and learned from them. Evolve, I grew up. I got my adrenaline that made her feel even more alive. The freedom that you can feel is beyond measure or limit. Feeling like you can do anything you imagine, a job, a sport, a challenge, etc. What they do not know, you try, you learn and eventually happen. Open-mindedness is essential to understand other people, and to learn.

 I live reinventing, no fear, no failure, no crisis, but opportunities to reinvent something new. Curiosity. Explore. Discover. Look for. Spending a lot of time alone, with yourself and learn to entertain, have activities, interests, and make you want to live and feel young.

This is a brief but heartfelt autobiographical hope you enjoy them and generate thought / feeling.

Estar en el agua y en la naturaleza rejuvenece. (Espanol)

 Tengo más de 30 anos, soy responsable, conmigo, la sociedad y el ambiente. Algunas arrugas, pero cuerpo de 20es y edad emocional de 10. Quien practique deportes al aire libre  y sobre todo en agua, conectados con los elementos, aire tierra, agua, la  energía de las  olas, la fuerza del viento etc., etc. sabe de qué estoy hablando y se sentirá seguramente identificado/a . Estar haciendo deporte y viajar  y haciendo lo que a uno le gusta, es el sentimiento más  puro, mágico y único que  existe.

Me siento saludable físicamente y mentalmente.  Alegre y energética. Descubro el mundo, lugares personas energías y eso representa un crecimiento personal inigualable. Que la vida me sorprenda y no la planee. Me dicen loca, me dicen que tengo suerte, que la hice bien, pero la verdad es que ni la pensé dejo que suceda, me amoldo a las circunstancias y las vivo en felicidad. Podemos elegir levantarnos  de  dormir  de mal humor y seguir el día así, o cambiar radicalmente  y disfrutar   como si fuese el primer día de tu  nueva vida. Poder enojarte pero olvidarlo a los  5 minutos.

 Disfruto el sol y la lluvia, todo fluye.

Eterna  juventud. No es  inmadurez o síndrome  “PETER PAN”, sino que es simpleza, es  no llenarse de problemas banales. Mis preocupaciones son de tipo meteorológicas   lloverá? Entra el swell? Soplara? Que mediad de  tabla o vela elijo?,  así  puedo disfrutar de  esa condición  y divertirme  a full y disfrutar mi sesión al aire libre.

“ Outodoor “, esa es la clave  , salir afuera,  dentro nada pasa, nada cambia afuera  oportunidades, intercambios  vivencias, experiencias.

 Me hice una persona más fuerte, se mucho y  aprendí mucho  mas, y al mismo tiempo no sé nada me volví mas  inocente, simple.

Desapego a lo material, pocas cosas en que  ocuparse y preocuparse. Lo  básico. EL consumo te consume y yo tengo un deseo profundo de vivir y no ser consumida.

 Sueños. Son ideas que las pienso, evolucionan, y de  repente con tiempo, me sorprende van  sucediendo no sé ni cuándo ni dónde, pero se cumplen.  Hay que conectar con ellos, son magia.

Energía positiva social. Ayudar a otros, no como  ayuda económica, sino  como un acto  desinteresado,  por ejemplo, descubrir que con solo sonreír para alguien cuando vas por la calle, cambia la energía, la transforma  en positiva. Y eso no es ayudar?, Ver el lado “B”, y  Buscar lo Bueno.

Encontré obstáculos y desafíos. Los pase y aprendí de ellos. Evolucione, crecí. Me dieron adrenalina que mi hizo  sentir todavía más viva.  La libertad que  se  puede sentir no tiene medida, ni limite. Sentir que se puede hacer cualquier cosa  que se imagine, un trabajo, un  deporte,  un desafío, etc. Lo que no se sabe,  se intenta, se aprende  y finalmente sucede. La apertura mental es fundamental para  entender a otras personas, y para aprender.

 Vivo reinventándome, no hay miedo, no hay fracaso, ni crisis, sino oportunidades para hacer algo nuevo  reinventarse. Curiosidad. Explorar. Descubrir. Buscar. Pasar mucho tiempo solo/a  con uno mismo y aprender a entretenerse, tener actividades, intereses, así dan ganas  de vivir y sentirse joven.

Este es un breve  pero sincero relato autobiográfico espero que lo disfruten y  les genere un pensamiento/sentimiento.

YACHTS and Sailing

Get the Mexico boating guide from Cap. Pat Rains, she is great!

Marina Cabo San Lucas and Marina San Jose anchorage. You can anchor outside on the bay in an open sandy bottom very flat when north west winds. In Cabo  San Lucas the Marina is part of the IGY group good services  right on  the hot spot of the town its has 240 slips up to 150’ ft and some for 300’ ft. with 15’ depths. Fuel dock and provisioning easy.  Its not cheap. If you are looking for a cheaper option try marina San Jose del Cabo.

If you need help the provide ‘Pangas”  local  small boats to take  to your slip, they are very  helpful people  marina run from Monday to Saturday  and remain close on Sunday 

From December to April NW winds predominate and the rotate to S winds and start de hurricane season until November. If you want to go up the peninsula in the pacific coast wait for a good wind window. Seas can be big and windy. Many shelter you can find every 200 miles

 So consider 2 days sailing until next shelter and sail close to the shorel about 5 miles. The first one is Bahia Magdalena  and Santa Maria cove and a port of San Carlos. Going  North. In Bahia Ballenas, “Abreojos” anchorage, but careful when the wind and swell hits, this is one of the best surf and kite surf/ windsurf places in the world. Turtle Bay very protected  good anchorage and a  dodgy fuel dock   but it works! Going north pass in between the Isla Cedros and the land to get shelter  from the waves

 The wind could became very powerful in Bahia Vizcaino check the forecast before departure. And the  small coves  doesn’t provide  good shelter for the strong NW winds and large seas. Careful with Sacramento reef Bahia San Quintin, is a good shelter and the you have 110 NM to the last port  of clearance in Mexico. In Ensenada get into a Marina all of them are very good its fuel available and provisioning ( do not buy much  when you get USA the custom with ditch all) in the Marinas they will help you with the clearance you can get an agent or do it yourself. You need “zarpe” and arrival that they made in the marina, passports, the temporary importation of the vessel permit, the paper for sanity and pay about  45 US  in Capitaneria de Puerto. No fees in inmigration. Going up north pass in between COronados Island and land  but stay away from shore  because Tijuan is the border with USA and the became very protective, they may check on you and your vessel … y queViva Mexico!

Los Cabos Canyon by foot or canopy, sculpture garden at Puerto Los Cabos, shopping at San Jose organic Saturday market, take a tour in the glass bottom boat , discover “Wirikuta Cactus Botanical Park modern stone pyramids”, &  bungee jumping zip line in the wild canyon in the sierra de la Laguna foothills,

kitesurf spot : The Granadines Caribe

The luscious Grenadines offer you a succession of uncrowded kitesurfing spots only a few miles away from each other.

Kitesurfing  The Grenadines Kite Spot

---

A multi-spot holiday offering pristine crystalline waters, lagoons and bays…

Kiteboarders can ride a different spot everyday!

Intermediate and advanced kitesurfers have the perfect playground to choose from in the Grenadines: flat protected waters, reef waves and downwinds that are etched into your memory forever. Gliding over turtles and manta rays in these waters is surely in the cards!

The Grenadines

The archipelago of the Grenadines is located in the south of the Caribbean, in the southern portion of the Windward Islands.

Within the 150 sq mile territory, the main island is St Vincent. In the lower 2/3 you’ll find the Grenadines, the smaller chain of islands stretching south from St Vincent to Grenada.

The Grenadines are comprised of over 32 islands and cays, 9 of which are inhabited. All are volcanic in origin, deeply embayed with inlets where clear aquamarine waters shallow up the finest sandy beaches.

Tobago Cays

Kitesurfing in the Grenadines

The trade winds blow from December/January to June, stronger winds generally between January and March. In the beginning of the season the wind direction is NE passing gradually to E as the season progresses.

Generally, the wind is stronger in the morning but it’s not unusual to have some weeks when it blows more then 25 knots, day and night.

The temperature is almost always about 30c, with a water temp that stays around 28c…making it a wetsuit free spot all year.

Kitesurfing Spots

Union Island

Union island´s mountainous outline greets visitors with a striking and picturesque array of green peaks and ridges. Clifton is a nice kite spot to stretch your legs on the day of arrival. It will delight you with turquoise shallow waters, protected by reef. Frigate Bay is just around the corner, an amazing flat water spot that works with easterly winds.

Happy Island – Union Island

The Tobago Cays

Known as the jewel of the Caribbean, this National park is a group of small, deserted islands surrounded by a lively horseshoe reef. This is the place to swim with the turtles and enjoy a great snorkeling session, checking out the magically diverse ecosystem under the water…all this after a good kite session of course!

I dare you to see the 225 different fish species in these waters!

The only island you are authorized to launch or land your kite is Jamesby. You need to go upwind of Baradel to find some fun waves to play with. You can also cruise to Petit Tabac to check out the reefs for a more serious surf session. If the wind is light, the dinghy will take you upwind with your launched kite from Baradel Beach…or you can always launch your kite from the boat that you came with!

Jamesby Island

Petit Tabac

Petit Tabac is a small deserted island where the Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed. It´s a beautiful day-anchorage for an epic kiteboarding session. From here you can reach very good reefs, and if the conditions are right you will explore some fine waves.

Petit Tabac

Mayreau

The smooth Salt Whistle Bay is the place to anchor. Just a few meters away from the boat on the windward side is the best all-around kitesurf spot in the Grenadines.

It’s perfect for the intermediate kiter with side-on wind, reef and a sandy beach that allows kiters to play. If the anchorage is fairly empty, you can also go for an excellent flat water session in the bay.

If you still have some power in your legs, walk to the top of this one road island to see a stunning view (especially at sunset) of the neighboring islands. A jaunt over to Dennis´s Hideaway for a nice meal and a Pina Colada is always a good day’s end.

Salt Whistle Bay Anchorage

Mopion

This tiny, desolate white sandy-beached island is a great resting spot during a session. Drop your kite and just enjoy the view of all that surrounds you. Remember to bring your ice chest ashore with a few chilled beers!

From Mopion you can go up to discover waves on the north side of Petit St. Vincent. PSV is a private island, allowing you to come ashore for a nature walk and their jazzy beach bar.
