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.

View from the restaurant

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. ...

The Sunday market in the Plaza in La Cruz Breakfast and wifi at YaYa's Cafe Seafood Feast at Enrique's for Tommy and Chrissy's birthday Jim and Chrissy took the bus into Bucerias (in between La Cruz and PV) one day to go to the dentist for a good teeth cleaning and check up (AOK) and to go to the “Mega” Supermarket to re-provision. This alleyway leads to the main market stalls in Bucerias We left La Cruz on Thursday, March 10 th and arrived in Chacala that afternoon. 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 ...
