We snuggled up into the southern cove of the Bahia Agua Verde next to our good friends on Sangvind and were quickly followed by our other good friends on Resolute. So began our 7 days in the most heavenly little bay, for what was hands down the best part of our trip so far.
Mars Has a Beach
Ok so we didn’t really go to mars but we did go Puerto Los Gatos, which is a cove surrounded by the most amazing red rocks.
Island Hopping in Never Never Land
Is this place real? If it wasn’t for the bees and the 104 degree F temperature I would think I was dreaming.
Fancy meeting you here!
Orion was anchored off the north side of the tiny uninhabited island of San Francisco. No one was around but the two of us and some scary nesting seagulls.
Looking at the world through polarized glasses
So this Baja adventure has been good to us so far. But somehow it seems to be getting better. We are back at sea, roaming free as birds. And it feels good.
The Urban Wild
Being anchored off a busy city did not prevent the wild beauty of the sea from engulfing us. Jacques Cousteau once called La Paz the “Aquarium of the World” and I can see why.
Twenty Questions
I rode our folding bike into the depths of La Paz to play twenty questions with the locals. I find that if I ask twenty questions I can understand the answer to seven, which is enough to get something done.
Mexican Medicine
If I was to describe the medical care in Mexico with one word it would be wow.
While in La Paz I decided to get caught up on some medical visits that I let slide in the states before I left. Boy am I glad I let them slide!
Oy vey. Paradise is HOT!
We hit that bewitching hour about halfway through May when most of the cruising community finished prepping their boats and left for higher latitudes. It was right around that time that we really started sweating.
East Street
The town of La Paz (translated as The Peace) is, for cruisers like us, just SO easy. Perhaps that is why the majority of live-aboards we met had the same story, “I stopped for a week twelve years ago, and never left.”
