Photo gallery and journals of the sailing voyages of Ketch 22

Ketch 22 departed for Central American in October of 2007 and didn't return to US waters until March of 2009. The overall voyage was made in discrete trips, with different crew. Stops were made in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduran waters of Golfo Fonseca, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. After leaving the US East coast and ICW, stops were made in the Florida Keys, Havanna, Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, Belize and Guatemala, where Ketch 22 was left at the Monkey Bay Marina for the hurricane season.

There were three crews for the Mexico legs. The first voyage in Mexican waters was made as part of the Baja Ha Ha Cruisers Rally, from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas . The crew members were Myself, my wife Naty , Walter Kaelin and Pierre Henry .
