From Mag Bay to La Paz

We had a wonderful sailing voyage on the west coast of Baja California and though it was cold, we loved the isolated, desertic coast. The reward is turning the cape to Cabo San Lucas and it is hot! Hot! Hot! Off go the winter clothes. Nothing like sailing under a full moon, half naked! After reeling in a poisonous sea snake and a blue shark, Domi finally got us a tuna that was transformed immediatly into sushi. We tried to wash it down with a bottle of home made sake from 1986 but the ocean drank it instead of us for it was totally undrinkable and it was a nice way to celebrate the second crossing of the Tropic of Cancer! And then we watched the manta rays flying over the ultramarine blue water. La Paz is a beautiful little city, flowers, small beaches, fishermen pongas on the shore, la promenade des anglais, french riviera style where we ride our bicycles. We will be hauling the boat for maintenance and bottom paint at the" sympatico" Abaroa boat yard in business for 120 years or more...We will be staying in La Paz, may be... for two weeks...
