First stop - Loreto! We have left Graham at the bus depot in La Paz and we are on our own... Not sure how we feel about leaving our winter's home of the last 4 winters... No more misty eyes! New adventures await!
We arrived in Loreto at 5 pm and set up camp. What a great spot. Family run and very quaint. Honour system laundry - you do your laundry and then tell them how many of which you have done! Love it!
Day 2 is a short one - Loreto to Playa Santispac. It is only 2 hours by coach - Pep-Eh seems to know where we are headed.
This is by far the most beautiful spot of all the places we have been on the Baja and the mainland. This is Pep-Eh's birthplace too. He travelled 15 miles to the town of Mulege as a wee puppy to where he adopted us back in 2013.
Pep-Eh has discovered that he can chase fish!
He didn't catch any, but he did swim around like that for about 45 minutes. He was one tired pupppy!
We met the crews from s/v Sonrisa & s/v Landover on the beach today. Landover were in need of some groceries and we were able to help them out.
We visited Armandos on the beach for a last cold Negra Modelo - what a great view!
Our next stop is San Ignacio. We wanted to find a spot on the river in the oasis, but we decided on the famous Rice & Beans. We met Orton & Deb and Dave & Marg there. They are also northbound in their motorhomes.
We enjoyed the company! Pep-Eh had a traumatic day - he had pulled his dew claw nail up and we had quite an experience at the vet in Santa Rosalia. Enough said about that. Next stop is El Rosario - we have stayed here every trip north or south!
Time for a bit of comic relief!
We keep up the pace - our trip home will take us through the "Ruta del Vino" and the Guadalupe Valley. It is very beautiful here.
We camp at the Rancho Sordo Mudo. Looks like they have had a lot of rain last year.
We are border bound!
We will cross the border at Tecate.
We are awaiting our turn at the border and it is April 19, 2016.
And guess what? There is a wall!!
Almost our turn! Yes, we have no contriband - no eggs, no potatoes and no limes.
Deb and John are realizing their dream of sailing the world, leaving port in Vancouver , BC and seeing where the wind takes them, with many adventures along the way. We have spent the last three seasons in the Sea of Cortez. [...] We are currently crew for their friends Glenda & Laird on s/v Winterlude in the South Pacific enroute to New Zealand.
We've been adopted! While in Mulege, Baja California Sur, we were adopted by a street puppy. We enjoy every minute of every day with him. He is very much at home on the boat or in the dinghy - it is as if he was born to do this! His name is Pep-EH
