S/V Loomba-Loomba

We had a fast and comfortable sail from San Carlos  to Puerto Escondido on Baja (one of our best). We arrived at 11am on Sunday, grabbed a mooring ball,  and arranged for a rental car to be delivered the next  morning from Loreto. Puerto Escondido: Dago the driver of the shuttle panga is wonderful! Lots of changes in Puerto Escondido since we were  here last May: New docks (for 180 boats?), new bathrooms and showers, new store, new pizza restaurant, very friendly and efficient staff, nice landscaping, shuttle service  from the anchorage, and new (higher) prices! San Ignacio: This is the coffee shop that is open in the San Ignacio Plaza in the morning. Kuyima Ecotours office where we reserved our spots on the panga. We hightly reommend them!  Victor's Restaurant is right on the central plaza and he has GREAT shrimp tacos AND very fancy chair covers! The one hour (+) drive to the laguna was paved ...

San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico View from the cockpit in the work yard We were in the work yard longer than anticipated because  the boat next to us was grinding off black bottom paint.We were VERY close and wind was always blowing in our direction. (that is Loomba-Loomba's cap rail in the bottom left corner) The elderly Mexican only worked on it for a couple  of hours each morning so at first we would work inside until he left and then rinse off the boat and work. We couldn't put anything out on the deck because it would turn gray with bottom paint dust. We finally just decided to wait until he was done grinding so we extended our stay at Posada de Desierto. This is a white boat. The decks are gray because the black bottom paint was being ground off. Every afternoon Loomba-Loomba turned gray also. View from our porch at Posada de Desierto.
