Marina Palmira, La
Paz
We have been on the marina in La Paz for a
week now. Firstly to drop of John who flew back to South Africa and then to
decide on the road ahead. While the Sea of Cortez has been very
interesting and beautiful - and the guys did some amazing fishing - we have
decided that we cannot spend another 4 more months here. Being the
hurricane season, we would have to head far north into the sea, where it is very
desolate and extremely hot. Mike and I came to the same conclusion that we would
be bored and frustrated.
We have considered leaving the boat
in La Paz on the marina, but again the threat of hurricanes is real, and leaving
the boat here would be stressful. We have therefore decided to head up to
Ensenada, close to the Californian border. Tomorrow we head out of La Paz
and down toward Cabo San Lucas and thereafter we head north. It is a long trip
and against wind and waves for much of the way ...they don’t call it the Baha
Bash for nothing! We will however take it slowly, watching the weather
carefully and stopping where practical, rather than doing the 900nm in one
stretch.
We have enjoyed our stay here on the
marina and have met some very nice people - but it is time to move
on.
