San Carlos Bay
Our boat is being shipped down the highway to the marina. We are riding along.
In an effort to provide a bit more insight from the co-captian of ourboat, I will try and add some info to the messages we send out.How are we doing? After a couple weeks of work on the boat we areboth feeling happy and are trying to relax now that we are in thewater. San Carlos is a nice little town, primarily owned by Americansout of Tuson. It is warm here - usually 80's in the day and 60's atnight and the sun shines every day. There are good restaurants, myfavorite is the Palapa on the beach where they serve fresh fish, Greekfood (yes Greek) and Mexican. We have gone a couple nights for dinnerand looked at the stars and listened to the surf.
Right now we are on a mooring ball in the bay. It is busy because ofthe fishermen. The Humbolt (Giant) squid are running right now andthere are Sienna and Tuna. There was a fellow just cleaning aboutten tuna on the dock (I'm doing laundry at the little restaurant).The wind picks up in the afternoon, but the mornings and evenings arecalm and beautiful.
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.
