Gabriellas grandpa
I decided to say good-bye to all the Semana Santa celebrants and move on to San Blas. Had a nice 20 mile sail to Matanchen Bay and dropped hook in the middle of the bay as to stay away from the no-see-ums and mosquitoes. I promptly launched the dinghy and went to the beach where all the palapas are located. Went ashore and down the road toward the jungle river tour to see the crocodiles and Iguanas. Along that road are numerous shops that sell banana-nut bread and smoked fish which is what the area is known for. I bought my fresh out of the oven banana-nut bread and walked back to the beach for a fish fillet dinner at one of the palapas that was just so-so. The next morning I weighed anchor and surfed into the estuary at San Blas so I could anchor next to Singlar marina. I got my propane from the marina staff and did some grocery shopping in town. the next morning I left for Isla Isabella for some booby watching. With the weather looking good for the next few days it was a nice trip to the island. As soon as I dropped the hook, I launched the dinghy and headed in to take some pictures of the blue-footed boobies that I promised my sweet dear Gabriella. After climbing the mountain(I won't call it a hill) and dodging birds all the way up I was rewarded with some nice baby and momma pics. It's a shame that there isn't a smell-a-picture invented yet. I also took some pics of some scrwny looking Iguanas and 2 other species of birds. The next morning I headed out for Mazatlan while the weather was still looking good. I had a nice overnight passage to the old town anchorage. The next day I motored over to the marina area on the other side of town to take up a slip at Singlar. My friend Tom on Hooligan was having allergy problems, so they decided not to go to La Paz and hang out with me. So I took off by myself and ended up in Ensenada de Muertos where I anchored in a gorgeous desert setting. I had a good nights sleep and took off at 0600 so I could get through the Cerralvo channel before the wind came up. I had a nice passage into La Paz and anchored at my favorite spot in front of Applebees restaurant. I will be here for about a week and then start my trek up the Sea to Guaymas. Watch out Gabriella....I'll be home soon.
