The Adventures of Music
Low res photos of the 2001-2006 era to show my nearly 6 year sailing adventures in the Pacific ocean. Stopping at 197 Anchorages along the way. Photos are nearly in chronological order and try to capture the essence of the old web site.

The Adventures of Music started here as the boat is delivered. My new boat delivered to Marina Del Rey in California. All wrapped up in protective plastic.

The Adventures of Music started here as the boat is moved off of the truck. The new boat is moved off of the shipping truck to its cradle where she will be put together.

The Adventures of Music can now official commence. The vinyl name "Music" has been applied as the final touches of commissioning the boat continues, and will for another 8 months.

The Adventures of Music is now ready to go. The crew is ready. Larry Merriweather, forgotten red head, Steve and Manu and I in Redondo Beach ready to head to San Diego.

The Adventures of Music all ready to go. Tied up in San Diego waiting to go. Still have some work to do, but Music is fit to sail to Cabo for the first leg of the trip. There will be two stops along the way for us novice cruisers.

The Adventures of Music is now underway. Off the coast of San Diego the event organizers (BaHa Ha Ha) took a pic from a helicopter at the start. The crew and I are eagerly awaiting our official start time.

The Adventures of Music 2001, is well underway at our second stop. The dinghies are on the beach and the 101 boats are bobbing at anchor just off shore of Bahia Santa Maria, Baha California. There is a big BBQ on shore for all the cruisers.
