October 5 - 8, We made a quick land yacht trip from Santa Rosalia to Ensenada (13 hours) with our friend Jim (m/v Sun Hunter) in his pickup truck. This part of Mexico is new to us and we were amazed at the stark contrasts in landscape as we made the 510 mile trip. The land was sometimes barren, or rocky, or filled with cactus, or mountainous - just gorgeous! We stayed with our friend Paul (s/v Scarlet Fever) - trying new restaurants, coffee shops and sailing each afternoon in the bay aboard his beautiful Jeanneau 50. We returned to Santa Rosalia via his Lexus SUV hybrid (way smoother ride/less gas stops!!!) with Graham (Paul's friend) driving (another 13 hours). Fun but fast weekend!
