More Islands

Once we leave the marina, we'll be anchoring in some pretty neat places on our way up the sea. Then across to San Carlos on the mainland where we will likely pull Sojourner to be stored in a yard for the summer. As such, we will be back to having limited internet access, so we may not be able to respond as quickly or post to the blog ................well, I guess we haven't been all that regular anyway have we. At any rate, these next two months represent mostly what we came here for. To put things in perspective, it took about 2 months to come all the way here from Oregon. (Has anyone figured out how far that is yet?) Say, maybe that was 2000 miles. We will now have the same time to travel maybe 250 miles. And most travel days will be in the 20 - 50 mile range that we can pretty easily do in the daytime. There will be only one overnight passage, across the Sea of Cortez from the Baja side to San Carlos on the mainland.











These few shots represent the sort of places we'll be anchoring in. Most have beaches and reefs for snorkeling and fishing. And most are reasonably protected from the north winds of winter which should be thinning out as we go. It has been in the 80's the last few days, so things are definitely warming up. More later. E
