Back in Agua Verde

Sunset view from the south anchorage in Agua Verde.
After a couple of nights we moved to the north
anchorage and had it all to ourselves much of the time.

This is a video of L-L heading up San Jose Channel from Isla

San Francisco to Puerto Los Gatos. Wind and current were with us!

From Mazatlan we spent one night crossing the Sea

of Cortez to Muertos, one night in Muertos, one night

in Isla San Francisco, one night in Los Gatos before

we dropped the anchor in Agua Verde where we

stayed for two weeks.

The goats are still making their daily rounds.
We hear their bells every morning and evening.

José's house now has a new porch.

José also has a new dog named Mocha.

She's very friendly, but not a retriever.

We found a tennis ball and threw it to her from

the dinghy, but she didn't have a clue

what to do with it:

Loomba-Loomba in the north anchorage

We did quite a bit of paddleboarding...

The restaurant run by the "Sociedad Cooperativa

Punta Pasquel" is getting better all the time.

The fish tacos are the best and the chile rellenos

and chicken mole are also great. The tortillas

are the best around!

The La Brisa del Mar restaurant is the building with the
flag pole.

Leanor and her family are at the restaurant most of the time.

Sign posted on the beach by the Cooperativo.
They now take recycling and garbage for a small fee and
take it to Loreto.

Having the dolphins come and play off your bow

is always a thrill, but especially when you are

in the dinghy!

Our last night in AV we anchored off of the village beach.

We headed north from Agua Verde on May 11.

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. ...

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:
