Glenda and I cruised for a couple of weeks tour of ?The Islands? north of La Paz. In general, the weather was great; maybe a little too hot for some! We visited Islas San Fransisco, San Jose, Bahais San Gabriel, San Evaristo, Agua Verde and Puerto Los Gatos. Highlights include some excellent snorkeling, hikes with great views, lunch with 6 other yachties at Chez Lupe (basically someone's kitchen converted to an 8 person restaurant but with excellent food). Lots of time for cards, relaxing, reading, and naps. The area has small villages (20 - 100 people) living off the sea with a couple of small schools, stores and poverty. Most have a sponsor from the yachties that either come back every year, or live there for a season and help out. We will bring down some more supplies next time.

Negatives include long hot hikes to no where (San Gabriel) and I managed to wrap the dinghy rope around the prop (San Jose).
