Paradise in the Sea of Cortez

Friday, March 12. Day five of our 10 day Sea of Cortez cruise with Bob and Alyce with Cal and Mike (Wicksteed), and Ro of course, aboard Emma!! This is our third and most enchanting trip on this wonderful boat and we are having a great time. We arrived in Bahia Agua Verde on Wednesday after a challenging over-night sail from La Paz. Alyce, Ro and Cal wisely chose not to make the trip north but had a fairly harrowing 6 hour drive from Todos Santos to join us at our anchorage. Fortunately, Bob had Mike with him as a highly experienced First Mate as I was only useful to prepare some hopefully tasty food for the three of us en route. We had Chicken Fajitas for dinner and I made simple oats, fruit and yogurt for breakfast as I was thrown around the galley by the rough seas. Despite the high winds and a queasy tummy, it was a fantastic trip and when we arrived in this glorious bay we knew we had found a bit of paradise. The girls arrived several hours after our arrival and the party began!! Needless to day the food and drink have been splendid. We've met some interesting fellow sailors here in the Bay and went on a great 3 hour hike today with a few of them to find a cave with some ancient hand prints We have another night here and we will move on tomorrow to another beautiful spot. More to come........
