Back in La Paz

A hurricane warning sends us to hide in marina Palmira in La Paz instead of crossing to Mazatlan as we had planned to. But we are happy to ride our bicycles in beautiful La Paz once again and the hurricane stays away. Good!

La magnifique Mer de Cortez

Every night a different bay to anchor, beautiful white sand beaches, fascinating snorkling, lagoons to explore, full of birds, dolphins travelling with Swagman, sun and warm water, sushi, ceviche and fish soup with the 8kgs dorado who knocked itself on our hook! And almost nobody in those dream anchorages. Can't complain! Oh! I forgot! We did hit a rock on the north part of Islas San Marcos and the boat came to a full stop but it seems that there is no too much damage.

Back in the water in Guyamas!

As the travel lift turns to back us down into the water, a heavy shower turns the dusty road into a river of mud and the wheel gets stuck. There we are, up there, swinging back and forth and sideways for 5 hours while the mexican workers scratch their heads to figure out how to move our 4o tons boat. We end up spending the night between two big shrimpers, waiting for the tide the next day. We almost get stuck in the narrow, shallow channel in Guaymas but finally we are on our way for more exploration of the magnificent Sea of Cortez.
Nous voila de retour sur l eau apres bien du suspens!
