It's been cold on Baja this year.......both water and air and the winds have been flukier than normal. It's been a very different season in every respect, but we've enjoyed ALMOST every minute of it!
From the La Paz area we had a great sail up to San Evaristo with a south wind before the next northerly hit.
San Evaristo: It's been a couple of years since we have stopped in San Evaristo. The restaurant has continued to improve and so has the store. The only thing we don't like about it is how crowded it gets and the fact that someone usually drags anchor if there is a strong wind. This time a 60'+ boat came within a few feet of hitting our bow broadside. We woke up to the sound of someone gunning their engine and their bow thrusters. They were able to avoid us at the last minute. Too close for comfort.
The Restaurant:
Nice moon rise over the bay:
A few days later we caught the next southerly up the San Jose Channel to San Telmo
and then back down to Los Gatos when the wind switched to the north again.
We were there alone for a couple of days, but the bay filled up as the
week progressed:
Sailing up the San Jose Channel
Before our arrival in Los Gatos the water temp
had been around 72. It finally got up to 75 in Los Gatos.
Nice Sunsets:
A pair of oyster catchers:
The next Stop was Agua Verde where the amazing sunsets continued:
Early morning departure from Agua Verde (It was a motor boat ride):
Isla Danzante ahead:
We were going to go into Puerto Escondido, but decided we
needed one more night of being anchored in an uncrowded bay, so
we bypassed PE and had a quiet night in Juncalito with another
nice sunset.
A fairly strong north wind was predicted for the next night so we headed
back south to Puerto Escondido
where we did laundry, wifi, had showers, fueled up, and had
a fun dinner with friends.
