La Paz to Puerto Escondido 2013

We left La Paz on 4/16 and anchored in the hook of Isla San Francisco where we stayed for three nights waiting for the wind to turn around to a south wind. When it did, we had a great sail up to San Evaristo and then the next day to Punta Blanca where we had not been before. It's fun to discover anchorages that are off the beaten path.

Punta Blanca

The next day we headed to San Telmo one of our favorite discoveries from last year.

This is the point at Punta San Telmo.
Great snorkeling, beach walking, lots of birds..........

....and beautiful sandstone rock formations.

After two great days at San Telmo we headed to Agua Verde - another of our favorite anchorages where we've spent quite a bit of time. This time we spent six days in perfect conditions.

Walking into town - Agua Verde.

There are lots of goats in Agua Verde. The goat cheese is great.

Fishing was fun, but we were skunked!

Cruiser social hour at the beach.

We are in Candeleros now where we get free internet on the boat from the hotel on shore.
We are heading over to Isla Carmen this morning where we'll spend a couple of weeks.

North to Southeast Alaska

Our old friend, Roger, invited us to join him (as crew) on his first leg home from Sitka to Seattle. We did the first leg (and most scenic) from Sitka to Petersburg. He has been heading north on a boat from the Seattle area every summer since he was a little kid so he knows the area well. We flew into Sitka (arriving at 3PM), got a taxi to the harbor, jumped into the skiff, headed out to the boat, and we were on our way to Kalinin Bay on Kruzof Island for the night. (Jim's hat says "Where's the Fish") The next morning we headed north and into the Pacific along the Khaz Peninsula, inside Klokachef Island, up around Khaz head and then various anchorages around Baranof Island, Admiralty Island and Kupreanof Island. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we did have some sunny days, mostly calm waters, lots of wildlife and good fishing and beautiful scenery:

North to Vancouver Island..........

........this time on our van aboard the Coho Ferry to Victoria. It was a really fun week visiting old cruising friends and for Jim to see old haunts from his time living in Victoria (many years ago). The Coho ferry leaves Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula and arrives in downtown Victoria in one and a half hours: We drove up the west side of Vancouver Island then cut across to a wonderful Provincial C ampground on Gordon Bay on a beautiful lake. The Provincial Campgrounds are big and very well maintained. From Gordon Bay Campground we headed to Nanaimo to hook up with Bob and Gisele Coffey (s/v Relax) where we spent the night. We did a lot of catching up, took a couple of walks around the ponds surrounding their neighborhood and then headed up to another BIG and Beautiful Provincial Park:Rathtrevor Provincial Park about one hour north of Nanaimo. We spent two nights "buddy vanning". . From there we drove (along with Coffeys) down to Shawnigan Lake to visit Ian and Diane (...
