Dec 12, 2008...At anchor in La Paz
Since last post...2 nights Los Barilles...nice town to visit
but difficult for yachts with no protection and lee shore

12 nights in Bahia de los suenos Los Muertos... enjoyed the shelter, the variety...visit to La Ventana... kite boarding training...atv adventure to lighthouse on beach...visits and friendships at waterfront mansions of real estate moguls and retired pro football player-Kyle Turley.
He runs the local restuarant/sportsbar/yacht club...with free wi-fi/phone calls to USA.
He's also an artist and musician with a kind and generous heart.

7 nights around isla espiritu santu/partida
we dove the ferry wreck Salvatierra...with large scale equipment,whole tractor trailers and huge fish...then dove Marisla seamount...8 miles from land...52 feet deep..no hammerheads this visit.
Next was las candeles, then los islotes...gorgeous orange polyps on hard coral...feeding sea fans and turtle encounters.
... kayaked in a sea cave 2' from baby sea lions who showed off their gymnastic skills and fearlessness.
then we dove the wreck FANG MING off isla Ballena

All the while anchoring in various scenic protected coves
Once we visited a fish camp that was leveled 2 months ago by hurricane Norbert
We have great photos and await a chance to upload them to share with you

In la Paz we've replenished stores and enjoyed the food music and people

Off soon for mainland ...
