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.

Two Fall Road Trips 2023

The first trip was doing the Selkirk Loop. We headed first to eastern Washington, then northern Idaho, then British Columbia. We highly recommend. Crossing the Columbia Priest Lake, Idaho The FREE ferry across Kootenay Lake We headed to Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. It was beautiful, nice hikes, good...

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:

North to Vancouver Island..........

........this time on our van aboard the Coho Ferry to Victoria. It was a really fun week visiting old cruising friends and for Jim to see old haunts from his time living in Victoria (many years ago). The Coho ferry leaves Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula and arrives in downtown Victoria in one and a half hours: We drove up the west side of Vancouver Island then cut across to a wonderful Provincial C ampground on Gordon Bay on a beautiful lake. The Provincial Campgrounds are big and very well maintained. From Gordon Bay Campground we headed to Nanaimo to hook up with Bob and Gisele Coffey (s/v Relax) where we spent the night. We did a lot of catching up, took a couple of walks around the ponds surrounding their neighborhood and then headed up to another BIG and Beautiful Provincial Park:Rathtrevor Provincial Park about one hour north of Nanaimo. We spent two nights "buddy vanning". . From there we drove (along with Coffeys) down to Shawnigan Lake to visit Ian and Diane (...
