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

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!

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 ...
