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.

Mexico Ferry Travel: Getting from Guaymas to Baja and Back

Since our car was in Puerto Escondido in Baja and we and Loomba-Loomba were in San Carlos on the mainland, we decided to make an adventure out of getting the car over to the mainland and do a Copper Canyon trip on the way back to Guaymas. This involved two different ferry trips, a bus, lots of driving, and a train. Ferry travel is not cheap or easy in Mexico. We arrived at the 8PM ferry (Guaymas – Santa Rosalia) on Saturday May 27 th at 6PM, as required. There had been some pretty strong northerlies for a few days and the ferry isn’t very big so we asked if it was definitely going to sail. They said yes so our friend, Ray, who had given us a ride from San Carlos, left. At 7:45 they decided the weather was too bad to go – next ferry would be Monday (maybe). We took a taxi back to the boat and decided to wait until Tuesday the 29 th . This time we had Ray ( who speaks fluent Spanish) call and make a reservation in a cabin for us for Tuesday. ...

Crossing the Columbia Priest Lake, Idaho The FREE ferry across Kootenay Lake We headed to Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. It was beautiful, nice hikes, good...

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:
