Now this is the Baja we love!

After one night in Puerto Escondido we motored across to

Honeymoon Cove on Isla Danzante. We lucked out and anchored in

the first cove where we stayed for three days all by

ourselves! Except for the dolphins:

They REALLY showed off one evening - playing and

leaping out of the water:

The water was clear and warm and we did a lot of paddleboarding,

and swimming.

View from the cockpit:

Great views on the hills above the anchorage:

From Danzante we moved to Bahia Marquer on Isla Carmen.

The water was clear, calm, and warm (77). We did a lot of

beachcombing (Jim found another paper nautilus), paddling,

swimming and getting together with our three neighbors in the anchorage.

This is a picture of a friend's boat at dusk with Baja in the background.

Leaving Marquer heading to San Juanico:

After two days the wind was supposed to pick up so we

sailed/motor sailed to San Juanico.

Mexico Ferry Travel: Getting from Guaymas to Baja and Back

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. ...
