Puerto Don Juan and Bahia de Los Ángeles
Puerto Don Juan Puerto Don Juan is one of the best natural harbors on the peninsula for vessels to hide from storms; or in our case during the pandemic, be pretty much by ourselves. Just 5-10 nm south of Bahia Los Angeles, this deep cove provides a breeze to keep you cool, warm water to … Continue reading Puerto Don Juan and Bahia de Los Ángeles
Sweet Santa Rosalia
Santa Rosalia was a major stopping point for us as we made our way north up from the middle to the northern Sea of Cortez. Hm... How to best describe this from our point of view ... ? I'd guess I'd say that you do step off a little bit into the more rural waters … Continue reading Sweet Santa Rosalia
Cruising Isla Carmen, Puerto Escondido, and Loreto, too.
We’ve made our way north into what’s known as the middle Sea of Cortez, lying just north of Aqua Verde and south of San Juanico on the Baja side. Early May was time for us to help our friends get their boats ready to haulout for the summer season and make their way to their … Continue reading Cruising Isla Carmen, Puerto Escondido, and Loreto, too.
La Cruz to Caleta Lobos (Southern Crossing)
April 2020 La Cruz goes on Lockdown We had spent a long month in Marina La Cruz doing our best to socially distance ourselves. There was one eerie night where the local bars and restaurants suddenly went quiet after the local policia had made their rounds. You can usually make out which bar is playing … Continue reading La Cruz to Caleta Lobos (Southern Crossing)
La Cruz to Las Hadas and Back, (except for Barra)
Catching up with Dharma Girl February 2020 We’ve done a lot of backtracking so far with our blog; so I thought I’d post and do some catching up in a vain effort to keep us as current as possible. We’re back in Banderas Bay, anchored in the cruiser anchorage at La Cruz just outside the … Continue reading La Cruz to Las Hadas and Back, (except for Barra)
Baja Ha-Ha: Bahia Tortugas to Bahia Santa Maria, then onto Cabo San Lucas
Turtle Bay to Bahia Santa Maria We left Turtle Bay on a bright sunny morning, all set to go with the fleet under a Spinnaker Start. The Latitude 38 host boat, Profiligate, is a big Ocean 60 Catamaran. They leave a little ahead of everyone else and position themselves in order to take pictures of … Continue reading Baja Ha-Ha: Bahia Tortugas to Bahia Santa Maria, then onto Cabo San Lucas
San Diego to Bahia Tortugas: Leg One of the Ha-Ha
This was a relatively low key set of days for us. We were basically motor sailing our way south and clawing our way back into the rear of the rest of the Ha Ha fleet, who had gotten a days worth of sailing done in front of us. I don’t recall a whole to going … Continue reading San Diego to Bahia Tortugas: Leg One of the Ha-Ha
San Diego & Getting Ready for the Baja Ha-Ha
This is What Victory Looks Like …. Crossing the Border Sorry that picture is so blurry — as it doesn’t do the moment I was trying to capture justice. That point in time was when we first crossed from US waters into Mexican waters, still technically on DAY ONE off the Baja Ha Ha rally … Continue reading San Diego & Getting Ready for the Baja Ha-Ha
Crossing the Sea of Cortez to Mazatlan
Continuing from being stuck in La Paz, we had some luck come our way. The new IridiumGo arrived four days earlier than scheduled. Saturday afternoon Chris picked up the unit, installed it and we were ready to go that afternoon! The weather for the two night passage was forecasted for winds at least half of … Continue reading Crossing the Sea of Cortez to Mazatlan
