We arrived early afternoon, which gave us time to walk around town in Agua Verde before getting an early dinner at Puerto Bello. The weather forecast has been flip flopping each morning and evening, one good for sticking around in the Baja longer and the other saying “Leave Now!” Ultimately, after a morning weather check the need to get to…

The next morning was an early departure for a rush to Puerto Escondido for fuel and food. Our fresh veggies were getting thin. It was about as smooth as it could have been, with Jean getting food while Vicki and I topped off the tanks. By 9:45am we were back underway, sadly not much new produce as the next day…

Underway from Isla Coronado, I pulled out the jib around the north side of the island – knowing I was being optimistic. Whelp, sure enough it didn’t last more than twenty minutes before the wind was on our nose and it didn’t get any better the rest of the passage. Oh well, it was a comfortable ride and we really…

It was a mellow motorsail south with a larger than expected swell of 5-6 feet at 4 seconds. The screecher helped us along and made it an easy passage that allowed for water making and to get some charge into the batteries. Oh, and to empty the nearly full holding tanks – whew that was very needed. Being Thanksgiving, cooking…

Up early to beat the wind we departed to the north. Quickly raising the main and screecher only to be disappointed half an hour later when the morning winds subsided and it became a motor. Oh well, it was comfortable. Not too crowded in San Juanico, we lucked out and there was a great spot near where I like to…

It was a slight beat to Loreto with wind from the west but it wasn’t bad and a few hours later we dropped anchor next to a fellow Seawind 1160 Cayu who clearly were not having the best day ever. Their screecher was in shreds and they couldn’t get their main sail all the way down. We offered help but…

Ah the easy life, we enjoyed daily margarita’s at the new restaurant on the beach. Which also gave us a chance to meet a few of the other cruisers in the bay plus a couple who just bought a fixer upper boat in La Paz but were land traveling at the moment. Throw in a snorkel on the pinnacle rock…

We pulled into the anchorage to find a group of campers on the beach where I like to anchor. No worries we moved down the beach a bit to give them some space. It wasn’t long before we jumped in the dinghy to snorkel around the southern point where I had spearfished with Victor a few years ago. The spot…

We were on our way to Isla San Francisco and as seems to always be the case, light winds on the nose meant we would be motoring. The anchor dropped a few hours later in amongst a crowd of charter boats and a few large power boats. This is such a beautiful spot, it is no surprise that it was…

A rainy start was perked up with visiting a friend’s son who is working in Sydney before dashing off to the Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney and closing out the day by climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge

A nice breakfast before a not too far walk the UTS campus, followed up with a couple of buses rides out to Middle Head Battery for some exploring and beach time.

Well let’s call it day 1.5 since I arrived late afternoon Thursday, but this was my first full day… Walking around, visiting the National Maritime museum, and a musical at the Sydney Opera House
