Bacochibampo
4/23 Relaxed at the hotel (for free of course) we had quite a few options for anchorages after sailing across the sea. we decided on bacochibampo because it was a big, wide-open bay that would be easy to pull into at sunset. We got the anchor down ASAP and rowed to shore for a celebratory […]
Crossing the Sea of Cortez!
4/21 Awesome 6 kt beam reach. 15 kt east wind blowing. Anchor up at 10AM in coyote bay and down at 16:30 off the hotel at Punta Chivato. Talked to a few boats on the radio that were night crossing, and others that had already crossed. Thats good reception! 4/22 We woke up at 2:00AM […]

San Juanico Cove and Northbound
BACK IN SAN JUANICO 4/8 Still gusting from the West. This is rare. We have only seen north and south majority in the wind the past 6 months. Comfy swing back and forth with no swell because it is offshore wind. One other boat in here. They are in the ‘better’ spot to anchor. But […]
