Hola,We just returned from a short but productive visit to San Carlos. Solera gets better prepared each time we go down. Our confidence in her is at an all time high. She performed flawlessly! We'll be heading back in April for an extended stay with plans to explore the Baja coast from La Paz north to Bahia Los Angeles. That's over 400 miles of coastline. Interestingly, many sailors I've talked to advise against schedules. Having to be somewhere on a specific date is often the underlying reason cruisers get into trouble. Makes sense to me. Why fight it... go where the wind takes you, when it's the right time. So, I'll be doing a lot of research, picking out the interesting places but we'll keep an open itenerary. We're quickly approaching the "jumping off place" and I'm sure this blog will get more interesting when we actually get out there.
Above are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks. Morgan has agility dog potential. She jumps from the deck to the dinghy unassisted and needs only a spotter to get off the dinghy and onto the boat. It's daily entertainment... I could sell tickets to that show! Then a couple of shots of Oscar's boat Bombay. Nice San Carlos scenery behind a perfectly trimmed Bombay. Then a shot of helping out on a rigging job.
