San Carlos to Barra-de-Navidad

As you can see the weather was cool. The captain refused to wear jeans, but did admit that some long underwear was in order. The winds were about 20 - 23 kt for about 400 miles.
This is the nook that we anchored behind in Topolobombo after running about 200 miles. We were in here with a couple shrimp boats. It was very rolly, but we did get some rest and set off again in the morning heading directly to Mazatlan. The winds continued.


Here we are in Mazatlan at the El Cid Resort. It felt like coming home. We stayed for a week, had dinner at Fat Fish and did some provisioning before setting out again for Isla Isabella which was 85 miles, an easy overnight sail.


Fishing off Cabo Corrientas. Steve caught this guy. He thinks it weighed about 15 lbs. It gave him a good fight for 20 minutes. It was not great eating - the meat was dark red and quite dense.



We anchored in a small bay at Ipala. Kids were asking for donations for thier school, which we provided.
