An Introduction to Me

-


Hi, My name is Ellie. I'm 9 years old and in 4th grade. I live in NE Oregon in a small town called Lostine. My favorite thing to do on the weekends is to read. I'm sorta excited my parents bought a sailboat, but I would prefer to stay home because I'm nervous. I hope I'll make lots of friends. I'm looking forward to swimming, snorkeling and hopefully seeing dolphins. If I see dolphins I'm definitely sending pictures to my best friend Cal. Since she loves dolphins! I really hope I can stay in touch with my best friend. I look forward to seeing Hannah, a girl I met in Mexico while looking at the sailboat. Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you will continue to read my posts.

What I love about Mexico

Marina Real I love tacos and Takis  (spicy rolled up chips). People are always smiling and happy; they seem fearless and kind here in Mexico. Peoples attitudes are different.  There are very beautiful sunsets. I like swimming in the ocean and the pool, I really love snorkeling. I can't wait to see dolphins and whale sharks. I loved Mexican Halloween because you get a hand full of candy from each person. I can't wait for Dia de los Muertos, it's today!  Last but not lest, I love the Spanish Language! Sonoran sunset No filter, just pure beauty!

What the heck is S/V Milou?

Me driving Milou Milou is french for the name of the dog "Snowy", in the comic books Tin Tin. But Milou in this case is a 1983 Beneteau First 38, a 40 foot sailboat. We spent three nights in Mexico looking at Milou and a nice day of sailing her. It was very fun when we sailed her and I really liked driving the boat. On the third night my parents came back from a drink with the owners of Milou, and told me they had bought the sailboat. I cried so hard and yelled "take it back, take it back, take it back". I felt a mixture of feelings, BUT not excitement. I was afraid of leaving home and of the unknown.

The Southern Crossing

       Sailing into Banderas Bay with a fresh breeze          The southern crossing is a crossing from Baja to mainland Mexico in the Pacific Ocean.  It is almost 300 nautical miles ( nm).  It took us 2 nights and 3 days, but it felt longer.  We had really good wind the whole time; and it was fun not to see land.  At first you can see land; then you can't really see land. Finally, you can't see land at all, then land comes back into sight.  I totally recommend crossing.  The water was the bluest blue I have ever seen.  Because it is the open ocean.  First sight of land Beautiful sunrises       We almost had to turn back. Now I don't really now why so ask my mom or dad.  But I think we had a leaking engine fitting.  They put a tin cup on a string under it to see how much was leaking.  I woke to dad calling some friends to tell them we may have to t...
