Splash!

Back in the water and the weather has turned beautiful. Water thanks are full, projects are far enough along so it is time to sail. Almost weighed anchor this afternoon but hit a small snag so it off tomorrrow for a few days to Isla Espiruto Santo. Think desert island with post card bays.

La Paz

Back in La Paz after 2 months in Seattle. Cold and rainy to hot. I will be doing hard labor in the yard for the next few days then CR will do the splash. Just read the blog from Discovery and they have had some serious boat issues. Hope that is the end of that. I have a dirty boat, some bottom painting [...]

Walla Walla

Larry loaned me his 2003 Ford Focus and I made the 5 hr drive in comfort. Arrived relaxed and ready to eat and visit with Mom, Vanessa, Kevin and watch Rubin play video games. Mon was in good health and spirits. Kevin has a really nice Fender acoustic that he let me play. It was great to hang and get to know Vanessa and Kevin better.

Santa Rosalia

93 high and 73 at night
I anchored in Sweet Pea cove on the way here and the water was really clear. I then sailed to Santa Rosalia and anchored in the harbor. The water in the Harbor is brown and smelly but that is the only down side unless you count the Carnival that just set up on the breakwater. they play really really loud Mexican Rapp and Disco till 3am. did I mention loud? BTW This is not a tourist town I usually don't see another Gringo when I am walking around. The Marina is the way it's is supposed to be. Old funky docks with the office (Palapa of Knowledge) being run by the inmates and everything is on the honor system (Cold beer in the frig etc.).

I have been here 3 days and provisioned and watered up so I will sail back to Sweet Pea Cove and swim in that clear water and wait out the carnival before returning in a few days. I am never sure about these things but I will probably hang around this general area for a while before heading north to the Bay of L.A.
