Made it Cabo a few days later. Had a great sail from Mag Bay all the way to Cabo in some great winds to 20 knots. Anchored off the beach and took a nice swim. Next morning we headed into the marina at Cabo. We were told they had no room. We waited a while and they found a slip for us. We headed to town and checked in with the port captain. After lunch we headed back out and anchored at the beach again as it was the easiest way to get there. We headed in and met some folks and had a blast. Opps we drank a few margs and they were strong. Back at the boat we slept well.
Our ex crewmate Mike was heading over to pick up his stuff. He was not enjoying the way I had set things up to meet my friends and he abandon us on our longest leg. I asked him to leave the boat and he agreed. He and our friend Lisa showed up and we had a nice time. We went to a cool restaurant called Mi Casa for dinner. They have great mole. The mariachi band came over and I requested Oye Como Va by Tito Puente and made famous by Santana. They ripped it. Then they did Black Magic Woman. Amazing. Next day we headed out to San Jose del Cabo about 20 miles away. They have a new marina and we spent the night.
The next three days were spent sailing to La Paz. Sail during the day and then stop at an anchorage for the night. Worked great and by the afternoon of the 3rd day we arrived at Espiratu Santos. Nice anchorage with lots of fish. Next day we headed up island to find a more protected spot. Found a nice place with 5 other boats. I went around the anchorage to invite folks over for sunset cocktails on our boat. 2 couples joined us and we had a great time. Jo even brought Makeral stew for dinner. In the morning I swam over to their boats and thanked them for coming over. They loved it. Tex and I then went for a sail and then headed into a small cove. I went for a swim to the beach and took a naked nap. Nobody to say no right? Next day we headed to Seal rock and there were millions of fish there but nary a seal. We headed to another anchorage and I went around and let everyone know we were playing bocce at 3:30. Several dingys showed up and we had a blast with the kids. Tex and I won the tourney.
One of the boats was some young cruisers on their first overnight. We invited them over for drinks at sunset. Shane had purchased his 41’ boat and had been getting her ready. He said he owned a company in LA and was so miserable he sold the company and moved on to his just purchased boat a few months ago. Now he was trying to find a balance in his life and live as cheaply as possible. He found it! We enjoyed talking to him and his crew. Next day we buddy boated with them into their marina in La Paz. Nice spot. We picked up a few provisions and then they drove to another mole restaurant and we had a feast for $20 each. Now we are headed back to San Jose del Cabo to regroup and head home for the holidays. We will be back in town shortly after Xmas with the family to hang out at a resort and do some more….sailing!
Somewhere off La Paz!
