Los Frailes then Muertos

Went to Los Frailes for a couple days and aborted two attempts at crossing over to Mazatlan because of too much wind and waves. Decided to go north to Muertos 55mi then onto La Paz another 55mi or so after that. Made it to Muertos in 8hr at night to avoid too much wind and waves. Very tired when we got here at 7am and it was a rocky ride all the way and cold. Looks like we may stay in the Sea of Cortez for the season instead of going down the coast of the mainland as we started late and took a long time to come down the Baja coast. Took a nap when we pulled in and then had lunch a a very nice palapa resturant on shore with some cruisers we met at Los Frailes. It was great to meet and talk with them. We will wait for good weather to make the 9hr trip to La Paz. Lot's of small Manta rays jump out of the water all the time.
