LA PAZ BOAT TRIP

VIAJE DE SOL
It may seem unusual for us to go to the same area of the world twice in a row... So, here’s what happened: When we spent Thanksgiving in Baja, we were supposed to charter a boat. But, at the time, there were 10-12ft. seas and 30kt. winds. So, the charter operator was nice enough to give us a raincheck. This January 2012 trip in between Jen’s jobs was the raincheck.
We thought we might take one of their sailboats (that’s what we’d reserved), but when we got there, no sailboat was available until mañana. So, in a bizarre twist, we ended up on Sea Fortuna, a 37ft. fishing boat (replete with a dozens rods, hooks, fish freezers and ice chests). And, off we went!
We motored north from La Paz to Isla Espiritu Santo and spent 4 days and 3 nights marveling at the empty anchorages and beautifully-lonely white sand beaches. We passed dolphins and a whale (or maybe they passed us).
We made sandcastles and (gasp!) almost ran out of apple juice. 
But, mostly, we re-acquainted ourselves with the sun!
Photo Note: We took 600+ photos. We’ll start this page with some of them to tell a story... following the story are the rest of the photos.

Inside the boat, a big salon for cooking a living
and Willow told him where to go
sometimes they went fast
Slower Daddy!
Wake up and motor to Los Islotes
They Sun

Which is a Sea Lion colony
They play
They have a nice spot
We go to another beach (Ensenada Grande)
Sunglasses are a must
Jake drove
And drove..
1st anchorage, Bahia San Gabriel
Then we added a hat
So shallow, Jake pulls the dinghy to the beach
