IT WASN'T HARD FINDING THE PLACE
We left Mazatlan about 1pm and arrived in La Paz almost exactly 48 hours later. It was a nice passage mostly, light winds on the beam and flat seas until we got to the west side of the Sea of Cortez. Then we hit 20 knot winds coming down the Sea that were kicking up really nasty 4 to 6 foot waves that were about 3 to four seconds apart. The winds were nothing, but those waves kicked our butts. Very uncomfortable.
It good to be back on the Baja side again. If you're a desert rat like me it's like coming home.
We're off this morning the help our friends Doug and Marcy load thier "small" sailboat, Charm, on a much larger boat that will carry it up to British Columbia. They will pick it up there and sail it back home to Olympia. I crewed for Doug and Marcy on the Seattle to San Francisco leg back in 2006, helping them get started on their Mexican adventure, now I will be helping close the circle by assisting them this morning.
