Isla Isabela

We spent the day on Isla Isabela. It's a nesting area for Frigate birds, Boobies and others.
The Boat is now in a slip in La Cruz De Huanacaxtle as we are heading inland to Ajijic to spend Christmas there.
Now that we have internet I was able to upload some photos.

Isla Isabela

Blue Footed Boobie

Young Frigate

Blue Footed Boobies

We sailed 300+ nautical miles in 54 hours from Isla Espirito Santos to Isla Isabela with good winds but rolling seas which made for an uncomfortable ride but we sailed the whole way, no motoring!!!
Isla Isabela is am amazing island. It is a nature and marine reserve.
The island is a nesting ground for thousands of sea birds, Frigates and blue footed boobies. We anchored for the night and in the morning dinghied ashore and took a hike up to the top of the island, it was like a National Geographic episode.
We will set out this afternoon for a 20 hour sail through the night to arrive in La Cruz De Huanacaxtle in the morning.
Still no internet, using SSB radio to post.
Weather is great, all is well, Happy Holidays to everyone.

Exploring the islands

We left La Paz and motored to Isla Espiritu Santo and anchored in a beautiful little bay, white sand bottom and clear water made it seem like we were in a swimming pool. The fascinating geography against the turquoise water is awesome.
We watched the sunset from our "rear" patio while sipping wine.....awe the good life.
We left this cove and are now anchored in another beautiful cove on Isla Partida...waiting for the sunset.
Tomorrow we will haed out on a 2 day sail to Isla Isabel, home of the Blue footed boobies....

Swimming with whale sharks

We will be departing La Paz today(Mon) and heading to Isla Del Ispiritu and then to the mainland in a day or two.

Heading north into the Sea of Cortez

On The Move

The high winds from the north are calming down. We will depart this morning to head toward La Paz. One more stop, Punta Coyote is planned.
We don't have internet yet, so no emails received or sent.

Bahia de los Suenos

We are anchored in a protective bay waiting for calmer conditions before the next leg of our journey. We had high hopes of talking with friends this weekend,unfortunately there isn't internet available. Just the brief SSB quick email to the blog. We hope to be able to communicate with you soon.

Anchored at Los Frailes

We pulled in last night around five and anchored. The plan was to leave in the morning, along with buddy-boat partners Greg and Larisa on s/v Cythera pulled anchors this morning and headed out into the Sea of Cortez, the wind and the waves were a bit more than forcast, so instead of bashing all day we turned around and re-anchored at Los Frailes. It's a pretty cool place, nice protected anchorage and a beach. It's pretty secluded, a few fishermen,a few campers and a half dozen real nice houses. It's looks like we may be here for a few days. Weather is warm, one other cruising boat from Australia is here. We are all going to have a bonfire beach party tonight.
All is well,enjoying our time.
