Here are a couple of street scenes from Turtle Bay or Bahia Tortuga. A very friendly and dusty little town where we spent two days resting on the way down the Baja coast.
This little palapa with the "Good Eats" was great. They did have good eats, and friendly owners. The day in this pic, we went there to get out of the light rain shower that was beginning, and we ended up staying for several hours. First coffee, then breakfast, then a couple beers, all the while getting a Spanish lesson from Carlo the owner. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you'll find Claudia and Maxine enjoying the view.
This is the view from Good Eats. It was really special, though not possible for this mere mortal to get into the camera.
Here's a shot of us underway somewhere between Turtle bay and Santa Maria. It was a fine sailing day following a dreadful night of laying hove to. Note Maxine enjoying the sun finally.
Here's a shot of us on a little hike at Santa Maria. It was taken by Gary from sv Dash, which stands for the dash between the dates on a tombstone. We travelled with this very interesting man and great travelling companion from Turtle Bay to Cabo San Lucas. Hopefully, by now he is at Matzatlan or further south. I'm sorry I don't have a decent pic of him to offer.
Well, that's about it for now. We're getting settled into La Paz and will get some pics and stories for you soon. E

Greetings travelers, I love seeing the pictures you have taken of your adventure. You are both so brave! Maxine too. Give her a hug from me. BTW happy belated birthday Ricky, oops Emrick. I talked to Timmy yesterday and gave him your blog address. Perhaps you will hear from him. He just turned 72! Can someone age 72 still be called Timmy? I just can't get used to Heinz. The weather here has improved but there are still some very dirty snow piles in parking lots from the clearing process. We were stuck in for 6 days but I did make a terrific snowman. Just before Xmas I slipped on the ice and landed right on my butt. It still hurts. Perhaps I need two days resting in a dusty little town or on a cruise ship. Yah. Of the new photos I really like the one of the boat "underway". I have no idea, though, of what is "laying hove to". Since you termed it as dreadful, I'm glad it's in the past. Here's to smooth sailing in warm weather from now on. Oh, I also liked the Pepto pink house on the dirt street. Really. I wouldn't want a Pepto house here, but there the colors liven up the unpaved roads. Hope to hear more from you. Regards, Cousin Suzanne
