SUPer

After our walk on the beach this morning we passed by the Vallarta Yacht Club and noticed a bit of commotion. We went in to investigate and next thing I knew Mike was signed up for the Crocodile Classic SUP Races.

It's named the Crocodile Classic after the crocs that live in the estuary where the races are held - also our current home: Paradise Village Marina. I was surprised by how many people jumped into the water knowing what's lurking in the mangroves. Luckily everyone survived and we had a great day. Best of all, Mike placed third in the sprints - right after two guys from Mexico's national SUP team!

Well done Mike on his medal AND surviving - not sure if I'd risk a croc attack - they're one of my biggest fear! However, I'm might for a shiny medal...

Verena and Mike met while working aboard a hydrographic research vessel in Alaska. After freezing in Alaska for two years and getting rained on in Portland, Oregon for five, we have finally realized our dream of buying a sailboat and heading south. Thanksgiving 2011 we moved aboard Camille. We cruised Mexico for nearly two years and right now we are restocking the kitty in California. More...
