Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Back to La Paz on Monday, 05-12-08

Well as much as we didn't really want to...
It was time to head back to reality La Paz.
We had a long way to go, so got a relatively early start.

Headed out and meandered a bit in hopes of catching some fish.
Caught a few skipjacks which we tossed back.
Another cloudy day to keep the wind and heat down.

Saw lots and lots of dolphins ~ the big slow kind that don't usually pay any attention to you or do anything exciting like jump out of the water.
But today I saw two of them jump clear out of the water in tandem TWICE!
Then we saw lots of the small spinner dolphins and went through a huge pod feeding.Didn't see much else, except a few boats heading North.

Had some wind coming through the San Lorenzo Channel, so pulled the headsail out for awhile.

Just passed Pichilingue when the ferry came out ~ timed that right again!
Then saw this behemoth anchored out in front of Costa Baja...There was actually a big white and gray one anchored next to it, but the poor white and gray one didn't have a helicoptor on it's back...

Back into Marina de La Paz, where we had a fun time little difficulty getting side tied with the afternoon breeze.

The water sure had warmed up in the last week or so!Back to the internet, cell phone range, emails, blogging, laundry, and LIFE IN LA PAZ!

I wish our ocean water was that warm. I went and put my feet in the water yesterday and it was cold!!!
