Our Morpheus Blog has moved!!
The new blog address is...
Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.

Trial Separation
All good things must end sometime.
Google has ignored its "Blogger" application for years now and some recent problems have convinced me that now may be the time to switch platforms for our "Morpheus Sailing Blog".
We will give this a try and see how it works out before making a final decision. If you have an opinion, please leave us a comment at the new blog.
thanks,
-Jim and Deb

So...for at least the next week or so, the new (and possibly improved?) blog can be found at

I wish I said this
Spotted on a friends Facebook post...
"boats aren't boats as much as they are vehicles for great experiences with other people"

La Formentera Video
La Forementera is the Southern most Balearic Island, just to the South of Ibiza. We arrived their last week from Gibraltar. It is one of our favorite places in the Med. thus far. The area that we anchored in was basically a very long spit of sand that extended out from the main island and was surrounded by clear blue beautiful water. There are three of four restaurant/bars along this area and that's it.
But, what a nice change from the ticky tacky, fish and chips, tourist world of Gibraltar!!
I've strung a few video clips together in the video below. Not my greatest work, but quick and dirty sometimes gets the job done.

Small World, Good Friends
We are so lucky to have been able to cross paths with Paul & Amanda Mitchell after 12 years.
We all first met in 2002 during our first cruise on Morpheus with our kids. Musket Cove, Fiji was ground zero for many of us cruisers that year and it's fantastic to be able to spend time with friends made then, so many years later.
We all have the same basic "plan" for this season so many more fun times to come!!

Reverse Bungy!
Dan and I took this ride on his birthday. It was the second time for me. I should have known better.

Last Night in Ibiza
We are off for Majorca today after spending the last four days "buddy boating" with Paul and Amanda Mitchell and their boat Aztec Gold.
Paul and Amanda are from New Zealand and we met them during our South Pacific cruise in Fiji.
We had a great time with them (then and now) and should see them several more times this season as our "plans" are very similar.
It's a small world out here
