We popped around the corner, just two miles, to Los Gatos this morning. Another pretty bay where we spent the day on the beach, in the water, and crawling around on the red rocks that ring the place. Lowe has really taken to the water lately. He seems to know … Read More
Unfriendly Baja
We weren’t enthralled with San Evaristo, mainly because the beach was kind of skanky with fish carcasses all over the place. Swimming is pretty important these days. It’s hot and the kids are loving the water. So after a nice quiet night at anchor we pulled it up and motored … Read More
Nice and Close
Took a hike with Ouest again this morning, this time up a different ridge. She spent most of the time searching for good rocks to throw. I’d find her a level spot to stand and then sit back while she spent ten minutes doing what would have taken erosion a … Read More
Looking for Shelter
The Coromuel kicked in last night as soon as the lights went out and within a couple of hours we were bow bouncing through the waves. Ouest, in the most uncomfortable spot on the boat, the bow, slept straight through it. The rest of us didn’t fare so well. In … Read More
And We Are Off
While Lowe napped this morning Ouest and I ran out for one last grocery grab. Not much, just some baby food, a huge pile of strawberries, and some cheese. We also topped up our wireless internet card, though I suspect we’re going to find places to use it few and … Read More
All Attitude
We should be gone tomorrow, but things never work out that way. There is still plenty to do, including buying food and diesel. Without those we aren’t going anywhere. Anyway, what does one more day matter? We’ve been looking through the guide book a little bit and it seems to … Read More
Mmm Taco Bell
Friends of ours discovered the other day that there is an agent in town that can renew a tourist visa for another six months for just a hundred pesos. Brilliant. Problem solved. We may never have to return to the States. Or at least until my cravings for a Grilled … Read More
Walmart Check
The two guys sanding and scraping our boat’s varnish off finished up today. They looked defeated. I swear when they quoted me a price they hadn’t really taken a good look at the boat. That cockpit coaming was a killer. Anyway, two guys, and roughly thirty man hours later our … Read More
Need a Tent
Spent a couple of hours at Balandra beach today. A nice white sand beach with beautiful shallow baby blue water for the kids to play in. I took Lowe out, set him down in ankle deep water, and watched as he tore around in it until we finally took him … Read More
