May 21, 2010 – underway to La Lancha on north side of Isla Carmen Our hopes were high, but it was not to be. Not a fish to be seen on our way to Caleta Juanico. In addition to the absence of fish, Earl discovered that the transmission is losing oi…

As usual with Earl, we left Santa Rosalia early – too early for me. We had just gotten up and I was still in my nighty when he started up the engine and told me to hurry up, get dressed, get the lines and pull in the fenders. I got cross and grumpy…

May 12, 2010 – Puerto Don Juan, Bahia de los Angeles May 12th is a big day – my Bella’s birthday. It is hard to believe that she is six today. Time goes too fast. We called to wish her a happy birthday and she was already wearing the pink ‘…

We anchored in front of Loreto. Conditions were perfect, even Earl had no qualms about leaving his boat at anchor. We left our dingy in the small boat harbor, which is really for small boats, like pangas and boats under 28 feet. Another boater helpe…

On Easter morning we ran south about 15 miles to the eastern shore of Conception, an area called Bahia Coyote, in which there are lots of anchorages. We chose the northern most, called Santispac. It turned out to be well protected from the winds whic…

Published April 10 when we got serviceWe ran south from Punta Chivato to Santa Domingo northeast at the entrance to Conception. This is another beautiful beach. Like many around here, the water is relatively shallow for a long way out. We anchored …
