7/14/2020 - Puerto Escondido to Puerto Balandra, Isla Carmen 15nm / 299.6 The wind was fairly light, but we managed to sail about half the way, taking advantage of a favourable SOG despite the low boat speed. Motored into pretty Puerto Balandra, and the only boat there. Colin enjoyed the bay on the SUP, and … Continue reading SEA OF CORTEZ LEG TWO – Puerto Escondido to Bahía Concepción
We arrived back in La Paz after three months away on the 19th June, took a hire car at the airport and made it back to the boat to find everything in good shape (if a little baked).

So happy to be able to leave Cabo San Lucas, with the port open and the sun shining, we left the mayhem in our wake and passed back out into the bay with the signature rocks and ‘lover’s beach’ (apparently ‘divorce beach’ is on the more exposed ocean side) to starboard. The route took us … Continue reading Cabo San Lucas to La Paz
November 14, 15 2019 We were up early off anchor and out of the bay by 4:30 am. We were soon joined by many other boats that had decided to also make the run.

Bahia Santa Maria to Man “O”War Cove Bahia Magdalena November 13, 2019 This is a new leg to the Baja implemented this year.

This leg was considered a non-compete leg … Continue reading Baja Haha 2019 Leg 2A
