Sea of Cortez

Working out of our base, Marina Costa Baja, we hosted various crew members and guests who flew in to enjoy the beauty and wonder that is the Gulf of California.  We were limited by days of extreme wind.  At one point the Port of La Paz was closed to all traffic, including commercial traffic. Gusts over 40 knots! The wind came and went and came back again. We were able to get out occasionally and enjoy some of the sites.

I think he missed the tide.

Winding down in Mexico

As our time in Mexico winds down I am going to reach in the photo files and share some of the views and sites we have been enjoying for the last 3 months.

We made it!

November 10

We said goodbye to Los Cabos at 0710 and hello to La Paz and the Marina Costabaha at 1510.

It has been quite a journey from San Diego.  1000 Nautical Miles to add to our total which is somewhere around 7000 NM. 
So far......


November 19

The Knot Wafflen' will be spending 3 months here in the Sea of  Cortez.  David and Ian are gone and I fly home today.  The Aspen team will be flying in with guests from Passagemaker and Northwest Yachting magazines.  I will be coming back to spend Christmas on the boat with wife Pat, son Garrett and his bff Rachael. David and Sue Ellen will be back in January, perhaps with guests.

The plan then is to take her across the Sea of Cortez early February and turn her over to Aspen in San Carlos to have the fly bridge removed and put on trucks bound for Galveston, TX where she will be put back together and put back in the water so we can resume our journey.

In the mean time we will be cruising the various islands and anchorages of the Sea of Cortez, annoying the fish and trying to not get sunburned. 

Entries until we resume our journey will be picture heavy and less about the travel.

I hope you stay tuned and enjoy!

Nephew Ian at the helm.  Thanks to you for your photos and sense of humor.
You were good company and good crew!

I see the (Senior) Olympics in his future.
