There is now a stop sign in Agua Verde!




-->
From Puerto Escondido we went to Agua Verde 
where there have been some changes! 

There is now a stop sign in the middle of town.

The Mini Mart has a bank of solar panels, a new roof, 
another room, electric lighting, and a freezer!



There is now a danger sign at the top of the road
 going down to the beach at the north anchorage
and 
Jose’s house (see middle of picture below)
on the north anchorage beach 
lost it’s roof and front porch from a wind storm. 
He is slowly rebuilding it.

The women’s cooperative restaurant is still open 
and doing well.

There is a very large new generation of goats.

There is a new restaurant in the south part of the bay.

From Agua Verde we made a beeline for Marina
Palmira in La Paz and then out to Caleta Partida
(Isla Espiritu Santo) to see the turtle catch, tag and release
which will be the subject of our next blog post.

It is now March 4, 2018 and we are anchored
 in Ensenada de los Muertos awaiting the next
good weather window to head across the Sea
of Cortez to Mazatlan. 
The air temps are a bit warmer, there is a good beach
to walk on, and two restaurants with intermittent wifi.
Life is 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:   

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 (...
