We arrived at the boat on Sunday. The sun was shining and it was a calm, beautiful day. Our plans were to spend a day or two getting Odyssey ready and then to head to the local islands for several days. By the time we were ready, the local north winds had piped up (20+ kts) and we were forced to wait for them to die down. We lost a couple of days of island time, so we explored La Paz and hung out with friends aboard Scout. We ate at my favorite spot, Rancho Viejo, and tries some other popular places. Even though we were having fun, we were anxious to flee the Marina. We ended up leaving the same morning that Scout headed to the mainland, so we sailed (motored) together until they turned east. We continued heading north to our first stop at Bahia San Gabriel.
