South to La Paz


We had a great trip from Candeleros to La Paz.  It's so nice to be back on the water enjoying the sunrises and sunsets, going for beach walks, finding new (to us) anchorages, getting some good sailing in, meeting new people, fishing (unsuccessfully so far), watching the wildlife (whales, dolphins, turtles, and sea birds), and just relaxing and enjoying being on the boat.  The water clarity has improved and the temperature is going up. By the time we leave La Paz it should be perfect!

We have seen many huge pods of dolphins this year.
Biggest pods we've ever seen:



When we left Agua Verde the conditions were
perfect to try out our new spinnaker:


Timbabiche
Good hiking and good walking beach.

Mangle Solo.
Loomba-Loomba is in the distance.

Amortajada Lagoon - a very large lagoon on the southern tip of Isla San Jose.
We did the canal through the mangroves in the dinghy.
Anchored off the north side of Isla San Francisco.
We actually swam here - first time for Chrissy.
Water temp 72.9

Jim gave me a rock for my birthday.
We were in Ensenada del Cardinal on Isla Partida.
We are now in La Paz. We'll be here for at least two weeks.
HAPPY EASTER!

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. ...

Friday morning we awoke to a Tsunami warning on the SSB net and from a fisherman driving by in his Panga who told us to turn the VHF to Channel 16 to get a message from the Capitan de Puerto. Essentially the Port Captain told us that all the Mexican ports ...
