The wind came up as usual just before midnight but only blew 10-15 knots. Dave actually slept through the entire night despite the narrow anchorage. Hmmm, something is wrong with saying actually slept through the night on a vacation. Oh, well. Good practice for the real thing.

We left Evaristo around 8:00 because we had a long haul ahead. It became clear that we could not visit Tecolote and still be able to anchor before dark so we headed for Partido Cove. The wind was calm and water was smooth with a gentle 2-foot swell coming in from the south. It was a welcomed…

After relaxing on deck for a bit, we decide to w…
Heading back to the mainland, Dave figured he should find some protection from the southeast AND west winds. The little cove called Evaristo is a couple hour sail to the west and has protection all around for everything but east. We arrive and it is a bit unsettled with whitecaps pouring in b…

Smokey and Gypsy Rose Lee decided to join us on our sail. They showed up bright and early and came aboard for the trip.
It was blowing pretty hard directly on the stern as we prepared to depart. Winds and currents can run strong in La Paz with 3-knot currents not unusal. Dave gav…
