Sailing with Celestial's Tripp

We are a Tripp 47 racing boat turned cruiser that we bought in Maine in 2009. We sailed it through the Panama Canal and up to Seattle then back to Mexico and over to Hawaii in 2012.

Great sail back to La Paz

25 February 2012 | Caleta San Juanico to La Paz
not as windy as we expected
By Feb. 12th, we were in Caleta San Juanico. It is known for the cruisers tree, where people use whatever they want to post their boat name, crew names of what have you on a tree on shore. We used an old CD and put our boat card on it with the dates of our major trips. We saw it in our great cruiser's guide Sea of Cortez by 'Shawn and Heather'. Again there were great hikes across to another bay and looking for treasures on shore. This would be as far north as we would get this trip, 150 miles from La Paz. We did 375 miles for the month. We started back down south and the highlight was surfing on north winds. Our one day was 70 miles, hand steering due to auto pilot failure but fun to be out there. At one of our last stops, we were at low tide and could collect rock scallops by just walking around in 2 feet of water! That was a great meal!
