Your link didn't come through complete - here's the direct link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEiqP4SpjE4 Awesome trip it appears. I've kayaked some of the gulf coast years ago (Loreto to La Paz) but not sailed. We did meet a pair of cruisers along the way though. cheers, John S.

Incredible video... I haven't got my wife to come sailing in years, and watching this she said she wants to do a Sea of Cortez trip. It's cool to see that the M15 isn't too small for a week long cruise. Did you sleep and cook aboard? What kind of solar panel is that? Tyler Davis, CA M15 #157 "Defiant"

On 5/20/2015 12:16 PM, Tyler Backman wrote: Hi Tyler, On our M-15 I used the aft end of the cockpit as our galley. The trapezoidal plywood filler piece over the portapotti was the work surface, and the cockpit seat surfaces provided good counter space. To keep it locked in place when someone throwing a big wake came roaring by, I added some cleats P&S on the bottom. Then the work surface couldn't slide around, you only had to grab the kettle or the pot that was on the stove and rescue it. We cooked using a single burner propane restaurant table-top stove. I bought ours for about $29.-. It had electronic ignition; and when you shut the burner off, the propane bottle was disconnected from the stove. Of course cooking in the cockpit brings up the next problem that requires a solution. What if it rains? ...or the sun is too hot? Our solution was a home made Bimini top that covered the cockpit and the open companionway hatch. The Bimini, when not in use, was rolled up and stowed in the port sail locker. Our Toolbox Galley - everything we needed to cook and dine on the M-15 was inside a 19" long toolbox that stowed neatly under the cockpit sole in the cabin - supplied the pots and pans; tea kettle; kitchen utensils; salad mixing bowl; plates; cups; wine glasses; and silverware for comfortable (luxurious) living on a 15-footer. See M-Boat Archives for photos of the Toolbox galley construction and contents stowage. Building one is a nice winter occupation. You have a three dimensional puzzle to solve., as well as finding suitably sized items to fit the volume of the toolbox. The beauty of it is that you will find most of what you need at your local GOODWILL, or similar store. (Remember to take a small tape measure along on your search excursions - an item 1/2" too big won't work!) My wife Katrina, who came from Germany, gave the M-15 berth her highest possible complement. She called it a "wunderbare suendenwiese" (a wonderful meadow for sinning / frolicking) Connie ex M-15 #400 LEPPO Connie
