I arrived in San Carlos yesterday (an easy 6nm). Looks like my SPOT tracker batteries were too weak to send out a position. Also had trouble with my refrigeration for a night--but it now looks to be working again. Only minor inconveniences.

I've been working on the boat--stripping her down and getting her ready to truck back. It's a bit of work taking everything down/off--especially in the heat. Luckily I've got time to take it slow and am trying to use it as an opportunity to clean/inspect things as I go. The hardest thing is stowing so much down below while trying to live in the same space.

I am making good progress and planning to venture further into town and even Guaymas in the next day or two. What I've seen so far I like: a desert mexican town--with a lot of gringos around.

I am scheduled to get hauled out on the 20th, the mast pulled the 21st and start trucking back on the 23rd. Hopefully I'll be back in SD (actually going to Driscol's Mission Bay) before the 4th of July and get to cruise in SD for a while.
