Hello, we are back in Escondido after weathering a bit of a day 5blow over on a nearby island, Danzante. It was forecasted to be pretty windy and the little bay over there (2 miles away) was more snug and protected than the main harbor here. . We put out 2 anchors and 2 lines to the shore and handled it just fine. Gusts were reported to 54 knots. it was cold so we kept hunkered in the cabin most of the time and i finally finisheded reading War and Peace! we did go to shore a few times for short walks along the shore, moslty read a lot.
Mike and Karen (from my earlier post) were also anchored there. There was also a young couple, Gen and Mario from Quebec, there who had kayaked from Mulege 50 miles north and headed for La Paz (140 kayak miles south from here!) they are very cool and way gnarly. They run a landscape business back home and take winters off doing wild things in warmer places.
So we are here for a day or 2 to take a hot shower and touch base with loved ones, then head north towards Santa Rosalia where we will then plan for a crossing of the sea of Cortez to San Carlos where we will take the boat out for the year, then drive home by first of March.
