2013 "Work" Trip

Cyn and I just returned from a three week trip to San Carlos. Our two objectives were to repair Solera's Yanmar diesel and to list her with a broker. The engine work was quickly completed. Her diesel has never run better!  Don at San Carlos Yacht Sales currently has our beloved Columbia 40 on the market.

If you have read much of this blog you know that sailing the Sea of Cortez has been a journey filled with discovery for Cyn and I. We have logged close to 3000 miles over the last few years and explored dozens of beautiful anchorages on the Sonoran and Baja coasts. We've made ten trips down from Colorado to sail in this outstanding cruising area. For the near future we'll be enjoying our Tartan 30C at Lake Pueblo and travelling around North America in our newly acquired Mini RV.

Even with the work that needed to be done, we still managed to make a vacation out of our trip. Cyn and I made another ascent of the Tetas de Cabra, this time without Morgan. Cyn was very successful combing the beach for sea glass at Bahia Esmeralda.  JJ's fish tacos and the Italian food at La Trattoria are just about as good as it gets.

San Carlos makes a near perfect base for jumping off into the Sea of Cortez. It offers all the facilities you need and locals are helpful and friendly. On our last day in town Cyn commented on all the friends we have made over the years and how much we'll miss them. Hasta la vista San Carlos!
