BACK TO THE SEA

After a summer interlude in the USA, we return to the sea. Trying out a new "PHLOG" style!

A picture is worth a thousand words, they say, and as Andy's very slow typing can't manage too many words, we're adopting a new style of blog, our photo-blog, or "phlog". Pictures are more interesting anyway, and who has time to read these days? From here on out we'll summarize our adventures with a few photos that best capture what we're up to, with a brief explanation next to each. We hope you like the new format. So - returning to the sea, we make our way from San Carlos to Bahia de Los Angeles...

We crossed the sea towards Baja on 21st October and we were stoked to finally break our Dorado drought! This one is a small hen.

Readying to shelter from our first norther in Puerto Don Juan. Thanks to SV Sancerre for the great picture of Tino Pai by moonlight!

Islas Mitlan & Coronado marked our northernmost point in the sea so far, reached on 26th October. Coronado was a beautiful island to hike.

We loved Santa Rosalia and visited the Eiffel Church with Rodd & Shelly on our buddy boat, SV Tasi. This may be Mexico's friendliest town? And yes, that Eiffel.

Getting all 3 sails up in light winds on the beam in flat seas is one of our greatest pleasures when sailing in Baja. We relax and watch the beautiful scenery go by...

Not to be outdone, Shan landed her own much larger bull Dorado on our way into Bahia Concepcion on 7th November. She remains our Dorado Champion!

Playa El Burro, one of the many beautiful anchorages in Bahia Concepcion. Tino Pai and Tasi are the two leftmost yachts in the foreground.

We reached San Juanico, last season's northernmost point in Baja on 13th November. SV Tasi snapped this lovely picture of Tino Pai at Sunrise.

The renowned "Cruisers Shrine" bush at San Juanico. We looked it over but decided not to add Tino Pai's mark to the many painted shells and miscellaneous riffraff.

Our dinghy "Mooch" taken from the beach with the recognizable San Juanico rocks in the background (a good spot for spear fishing grouper).

We have "Wilson" with us on our travels, signed and given to Andy by the warehouse team at his work. He's no castaway on the journey so far...
