People appear to forget, adding Davits , a dingy and decent outboard , water maker , life raft , solar and a decent battery bank , all the spares needed. A proper anchor and 300 feet of chain , Epirb adds at least 70k

Yup

It goes around the heel where the back of your shoes could rub

Glad you enjoyed them Jack

No not yet but not in any hurry . It’s nice living in a marina where you don’t have to keep one eye on the weather

True

Yes started with lone peaks and thought they would be great . I wear them everyday . But had to change them for something with lift

Yes it was difficult to see so many people in pain along the wall

Just around the ankles where the top of your walking shoe comes into contact . That’s the place most people we saw had issues . The blue athletic tape is 2 inches wide .Dont stretch it when you put it on

Yes there were some horrendous blistering affecting a lot of people

Thanks for the comment

😂

Thank you david

🌮

Yep , think they are still the best for fish tacos but Bismark was definately better for shrimp

Never thought I’d would complete , should have got an Uber

True 👍

Nearly 2.5 years ownership Although I have been cruising in the Sea of Cortez for 12 years on previous boats . Time to do something different . Have just completed the 800km Camino de Santiago walk

Us$1200 a month including water and electricity

@@sailingmilagro are you on an yearly and is your boat and slip transferable?

It’s a permanent slip and it’s transferable . I pay the monthly rate each month and if I go out cruising and leave the slip the marina sublet until I let them know I will be coming back . Then the subletter is made to vacate

@@sailingmilagro Excellent! I went through all your videos, very nicely done BTW. Very honest presentation.

Thank you

Thanks Captain Jack

A common saying has started to occur . “ oh no another hill “

Thanks Jack , it was an amazing experience . We may do another one in a couple of years

Not sure , maybe South America on a motorcycle

Yes the sea has a hold on me from My child hood growing up in a small fishing village

Self taught in my 30s

Sorry don’t know the answer to that

It was beautiful

Gracious

Boat length depends on many things , marina fees , number of people on board . Personally , the bigger the better . I solo sailed a 46 with no issues

???

They are also good , paradise village and Zola Cruz

Not just the cost of the slip but the availability of the correct size , the amount of anti foil needed , the cost of having the bottom cleaned , they charge per foot . Haul out charges. Then the cost of replacement parts as everything is bigger , anchor chain , anchor . The dollars soon start to add up as the size of boat goes up . You could also add anchoring on tight spots could be a challenge . What’s your reason for a 52 , family and kids ?

I’ve had self steering before , Aries and monitor . Back in the days when you were concerned about overnight power consumption . For all of my sailing I only need a decent autopilot . Would I sail her back to NZ , yes without a doubt. I like the keel stepped mast

Walking is about the same pace as sailing 😂😂

I do hear a lot of heavy breathing😅😅

Gracias

👍

Don’t know they were on the car when I bought it

Yes the countryside is ever changing and stunning

165,000 , the boat is now for sale for the same price after numourous upgrades

@@sailingmilagro Thank you

Not on the route for the Camino to Santiago

Went to wind on a 747 😂

Hi, Sailentrenous@gmail.com

Thank you

Yes you have the capability of massive downloads and super speeds . You just connect your phone or laptop like you to any wifi system and away you go no matter where you are

Yes times are changing and marina prices are getting ridiculously high

@@sailingmilagro I think marinas in Southern California are cheaper than La Paz. I could be wrong.

My pleasure , thanks for watching my channel

Nice owners too

👍

I am looking for a boat at the moment aswell and find the Catalina 42 one of the best choices at the moment. I do have heard a couple of times now that people prefer the MKII. Is there a major difference between the MKI and MKII other than the age and minor design changes? For me more important would be the safety aspect. Is there a big difference between MKI and MKII? I would like to live on the boat fulltime, some Island hopping and at one point in time cross the atlantic ocean. For example spend 2 years in the Caribbeans and head over to the mediterranean for a couple of years. I think a full on blue water vessel would be overkill.

Hi,the rudder is much deeper on the mark II and I think the mast is moved back a little . Plus the interior layout is a little different . The keel stepped mast helps with ocean crossing . The boat is more than capable crossing oceans . Milagro is currently for sale if you want to start your lives aboard life in the safe waters of Mexico

I’ll check with the broker

Omg id just found milagro at yw... But we just can dream about Buy her😢
