Our two week vacation has been extended into three, due to that unknown variable . . . weather . . . in this case wind. The third week offically starts today. Two weeks ago, we crossed the Sea of Cortez to the Baja side under starry skies and calm seas. We spent time cruising around Conception Bay, Punte Chivito, and Isla San Marcos snorkling, sailing, and swimming. We docked in Santa Rosilia at the marina intending to make our way back across to San Carlos after a few days. Strong winds up the middle of the sea made crossing unappealing and definately a stretch for our boat's abilities so while we were waiting for the weather to calm down, a new plan was hatched, but not before we discussed, started, and discarded at least 6 others.
Our final decision is to leave the boat in Loreto, Baja California Sur so we can explore that area. Bryant was able to catch a flight into Guaymas this morning to pick up the truck and trailer from San Carlos. As I type, he's driving around to pick us up and the boat to bring to Loreto, which has dry storage for the boat and lots of cruising opportunities. It is a long two day drive to Santa Rosilia and Loreto is another 100 miles. We will get everything set up in Loreto and hopefully get some time on the water. We have to be in San Diego on Sunday to drop Bryant off at the airport. Then Wyatt, Gus and I drive the truck back up to Alaska via way of the storage shed in Phoenix that needs to be emptied and Bryant's parents in Grand Junction.
I wanted to post some pictures, but I'm having difficulty downloading them onto Bryant's computer, so they will have to wait until I get back to Alaska around July 1st. Anyhow, that is what we are up to.
