2008 Baja Ha Ha
14 November 2008 | La Paz
Dead calm, still warm
November 14, 2008 - Friday
We got up at 5:30 a.m., and were underway at 5:49 a.m. Not much to report as to the sail itself. There was virtually no wind and it was pretty warm. We got into La Paz at 2:00 p.m. I should note that there is a very long channel that you must stay in to get to La Paz and for such a short trip we did not want to take the time to navigate that channel. The coordinates of this marina, although accurate, are for a marina on the approach to La Paz rather than in La Paz itself. The marina is called Costa Baja and the GPS coordinates are our slip (C-34) and I hope you all are able to Google Earth the spot.
It appears that the "fleet" remains in tact as a string of about 15 boats made their way north with us toward La Paz. Some were under full sail, others were not, so the pace was varied
Anyway, we got in and filled up with diesel and then got a slip for the night. This is a pretty nice marina and hotel. We have use of the pool, showers, and restaurants. Stan, Alison, and I made our way to the "super market" which was nothing more than a grocery store. We stocked up on beer, bread, fruit, water and some soda.
I wish I had more to say, but I don't! It was a fun day, but not much happened, very calm weather so we motored the entire way.
We will get up early and get on the water again in the morning. I'll tra and keep you posted, but I'm not expecting internet access for several days now.
Paul.
