Carl Menconi, a long time friend and hopeful future crew mate, connected us with his brother and sister-in-law, Paul and Paula, who had spent 3 years cruising Mexico between 2003-2006.&nbsp; They generously invited us to stop by their home in Los Osos, CA on our way down to Ventura to share their experiences and resources.&nbsp; We of course, excited to gain any knowledge of cruising, accepted.<\/p>\n<p>We visited them again a few weeks after we settled into the boat, even though they themselves were planning a very extensive trip to Europe but were gracious enough to make time for us.&nbsp; We loved hearing about their stories of engine issues, boat preparation, being crew for other boats, and many more tips (Paula, you will be glad to know we sleep in 100% cotton now).<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Paul and Paula for all the insight and gear.&nbsp; We will always think of you with our new cockpit light and I absolutely love the chairs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beautiful thing about cruising is the sense of&nbsp;community it builds, connected by the shared experiences of living on the[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-getting-ready"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7iVSN-1U","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":166,"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118\/revisions\/166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svslowflight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
