Sea of Cortez Summer Fall 2012

After scoring an AC unit, gratis, we headed to the sea. We were told it would be hot there, but better than Mazatlán and more out of the way of hurricanes. Well, true..... But it was still very hot with thunder storms and wind.

We're doing a few small projects in prep to cross the Sea to Mazatlán; checking shackles, blocks, Bryan is replacing the old dacron lazy jacks with amsteel, laundry, whipping lines, etc. This guy hung out for a bit, but got tired of posing and flew off.

Tucked Copernicus in Marina Palmira to get a few boat chores done before crossing. Walking back to marina de La Paz to pick up our bikes. A lot easier than loadng them into our dinghy and rowing back to the boat in the chop.

Low tide, fishermen are back and the pelicans and gulls know it.

Love anchoring out. Cooling breeze, privacy, price is right. We were lucky in our spot as we had the favoured tidal current on our rows in and back out to Copernicus. There for 19 days, but time for some dock time to water up, charge up and wash up. We can do all those things while anchored out, but we're talking more than pushing the dirt around.

Sardine Cook Off!

On one of our usual bike trips down the malacon, we spotted the first annual Sardine Cook Off being set up, so of course we showed up with our 40 pesos in hand to sample and judge. Well I did as Bryan is not so partial to Sardines. As is typical with any celebration there is also music and dancing!

Aside from the contestants food displays, there is also an education display with these hatchling specimens in a jar. Looking up a bit about sardines, they are piltchards and various species can grow up to 39 inches.

So we broke the main halyard traveling from San Carlos to Bahía Santos Domingo at the northern tip of Bahía de Conception in the Sea of Cortez. We were going to a third reef because we saw some very nasty clouds coming our way. Fortunately it missed us. But a new halyard had to go up which meant someone had to got up...... Bryan won the coin toss. So he did it on his birthday. He figures that if he bought the big one we all only had to remember one date. So much for his plans..... Things went well so we'll have to go with 2.
