Some recent photos

We actually spent most of last week at anchor at the island - sort of our last hurrah before getting to the serious preparation for having Sojourner hauled out for the summer. It was a nice time. Actually, Claudia explained it well to one of our daughters - put you and your husband in your master bathroom. Close the door. Now live there for six days.





It's not really that bad of course, but even a large boat can become quite small after a couple days. On this trip, we had two days in a row of rather strong winds. It was no problem as our anchor and ground tackle are more than adequate, but we stayed on board - no dinghy or kayak trips.


Check out the photo of the anchor on the bottom. You can see the chain curled into a loop and then the anchor itself buried in the sand. This in 15' of water. Really clean!!

Moving Right Along

Thanks to Brad and Vicky aboard sv Jo Jo for this great shot of Sojourner under sail. We're actually on the return trip from Isla Espiritu Santo, but it's so fun to look at I had to give it to you first.







Yes. That means we actually untied the lines and got off the dock for a few days!!! We had a wonderful time in all kinds of weather on this trip.







Here's one anchorage called Caleta Partida where we were the first ones in on Friday and got the prime spot in front of the "fish camp". If you click on the picture, you should get a full screen version, as with all the photos on the blog. This fish camp reminds me of some of the hunting camps in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and probably elsewhere.






The anchorage is a well known "hidey hole", so on Saturday with strong winds and light rain, we found ourselves among 14 other boats.









The rocks in these pictures are actually small islands - Los Islotes. They are famous for their sea lion rookery. You may not be able to actually see them in these photos, but I assure you they're there as the tour boat and pangas will testify.











So who can tell me why these islands are covered in white?





If you could smell these pictures, the answer would come easier.








Oh and here's a shot of our little Sunday afternoon volleyball group.




See you next time.
