Well we had planned to cross from Esenada Julio Villa and go to Santa Rosalia. But you know how plans change with the wind! Well we had too much wind and too much from the west so we had to adjust our route. We were going way too fast (surfing down waves at 9 knots even with the main reefed) and passed halfway by midnight. So I told Jim that either we're going to be 10 miles south of Concepcion (our adjusted go to destination) or we'd better slow the hell down. So we slowed down and hit the point of Concepcion by dawn.

Motoring was a challenge as we never seem to have the correct path in so we get uncomfortably shallow but we made it to our favorite anchor spot. We anchored next to Leonard on Vallee Cachee.

A few days in Concepcion with a nice hitch hike into Mulegee (my first hitch hike at 43). Once there we saw some of the other sailors and ended up going on their schedule (lunch & provisioning) so we didn't get to run around and check out the town as much as we would have liked. Maybe another time. We also cannot say enough good things about the campers at Santispac. We were able to trade out water bottles with a camper who was going to get water on 2 for 1 day. What nice people!

As we left Concepcion we finally got the right path and it was so nice to be in deep water!

I'm sorry my picture for Concepcion is so uninspired this time.
