Oh the places we have been!

Since the end of January we have been cruising at a very relaxed pace.  We are where we want to be and it has been wonderful.  The part of Mexico where we are, on the southeast coast of the Baja Peninsula, is quite undeveloped and quiet with lots of excellent anchorages.  There are many reasons to linger. And since a picture is worth a thousand words........

Swimming with the sea lions at Los Islotes was a real
highlight for me.

Sometimes the water was so clear it felt like we were flying.

Taking a rest from hiking on the giant chair

The best kind of rodeo riding

Los Gatos is known for its cool red sandstone

The lovely protected anchorage at Agua Verde

On a fun canyon hike near Puerto Escondido

Loreto

The pelicans are fantastic!

Heading out for a hike at Bahia San Juanico

Dramatic scenery abounds!

How much luckier can we get?

Fresh fish for dinner

Mulege bomberos fire truck, yes they could probably use some
newer equipment.

sharing the anchorage with whale sharks!

Anchored in the harbour at Santa Rosalia, the abandoned copper smelter in
the background.

We observed an Easter reenactment of Jesus last day, the procession wound its
way through the town of Santa Rosalia, stopping at the stations of the cross
 and culminating in the crucifixtion at the top of a hill

Our next step is to cross the sea of Cortez, it is only 72 miles across from here, and then get the boat ready for storage and come back to BC for the summer.  See you soon!
