Hola friends and family!!!
I have a little catching up to do! Since the last posting in January, we have sailed the boat back to Mazatlan and traveled back to northern Cal for the month of
February. Between snow storms, Terry burned slash and down trees and I went to work! We headed back to Mazatlan via pick-up the first of March. Enjoyed the company of Barb one week and and Pat Carol the next in Mazatlan. A couple of great day sails to Stone Island.
We are currently anchored out (actually on a mooring) at Puerto Escondito. We made the crossing from Mazatlan to Muertos on the baja on March 15. We were fortunate to have Patrick as crew for the trip! He just left today and we will miss his constant enthusiasm.
The weather here has actually been quite cool as well as the water temp of about 70 degrees. A little too cold for snorkeling!! I am so looking forward to warming of water temp. The sea of cortez is just as beautiful as we remember, and, we are reminded once again of the quick changes of wind and wave condtions. This really dominates our destinations and activities! I have never even heard of the terms "souther or norther", but, find that they are very meaningful here in the sea of cortez. And, if not constantly aware of these weather condtions, it really makes for a bad day or a sleepless night.
We have met up with our friends Bill and Karen on the boat "Miela". Looking forward to hikes and dinners together.
We will be traveling North- leaving tomorrow morning. And, plan on going as far north as Santa Rosalia. Visiting several islands and beautiful anchorages before heading south to La Paz in Mid May.
Best wishes to ALL!
