3/25/2016 Crossing to Baja

Our internet capabilities have been very limited, so, I've mainly been posting photo's of our adventures from my phone onto Facebook. Anyway, the last month or so has seen alot of travel for both of us. We stayed in Marina La Cruz for almost two months, and during that time; we flew to Tapachula to bring the car up to La Cruz,, then we drove back to Az. to check on the house, then I flew to Ixtapa for the annual surf trip, Karin stayed at home, and then drove down to La Cruz with our good friend Gen. Since then, we've  mostly sailed north to Mazatlan, with two stops on the way, at Chacala, and Mantachen (terrible no-seeums!), On the way into Marina Mazatlan, we encountered a dredging barge mid channel!, he navigated far enough away for us to clear the narrow entrance. Now the weather window looks good, so tomorrow morning we depart for Baja. I finally downloaded some photo's....

After returning the car from Tapachula,  Mike and Doreen from St. Leger and Ted and Honey from Patron  ( both circumnavigators!) along with Isabel,we all piled in for a roadtrip to Sayulita for lunch at Sayulita fish tacos.

Paul and Judy from S/V Grace led us on a beautiful hike along the south side of Banderas Bay.

Feb. 14th... the sailboat Rage broke free from it's anchorage and the La Cruz sailing community  arrived quickly to recover everything possible. 

At anchor in Chacala, a couple of ocean swimmers came by our boat, after being adopted by a curious seagull. We invited them on board, and enjoyed some good conversation and cerveza!
