Karen Heads Home
01 June 2011 | Santa Rosalia
Karen headed back home to La Cruz last night. Getting home will be no easy feat: an overnight bus to La Paz followed by 2 flights/3 stops to PV. (Mexico is not all that well connected—especially main land to baja). I am going to really miss her. Before she left she taught me how to make foccacia bread and left her recipes for scratch brownies, wheat pancakes, chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies. And like every crew before her, made her “special touches” to So Inclined (and me).
Another northerly blow is forecasted for tomorrow so I am staying in Santa Rosalia for more days than I hoped. If all goes well I’ll head a little south on Friday, making my way back to Bahia Conception. Hopefully I’ll be able to check out a couple of anchorages on the way.
Bill, my friend from Oceanside, is talking about coming down next Tuesday. I’ll plan to meet him in Bahia Conception or Mulege. We’ll spend some time around there and then make our way across to Guymas/San Carlos and maybe explore some anchorages over there.
I’ve decided to truck So Inclined home and spend a month cruising SD/Oceanside, returning to work in August. Summer is not the best time to be in Mexico and I’ve got to get the boat back or I lose my liveaboard slip in Oceanside. Still lots of details to work out—no small feat with limited internet and cell phone service.
