Tomorrow (Saturday) morning we're ready to set sail. The plan is to head south to a little warmer latitude. As much fun as we’re having here in San Carlos, we’re forced to sleep under blankets and daytime temp is only topping out at around 60 degrees (apologies for whining to those of you in Alaska, Indiana, California…)So many choices of where to go first – but we decided to head for Isla Carmen (26˚00’ N / 111˚.10’ W) on the Baja side of the Sea of Cortez. It’s about 110nm from here so it could be a quick 20 hours underway if we average 5 nm/hr (OK, we really don’t know how fast Begone will take us – we’ll let you know!)
Isla Carmen seems a fine place to anchor for several days, launch the dinghy and explore the island. We have taken it under advisement that we should wear bright clothes on shore. Something about long horned sheep and a new hunting lodge that recently opened.
Email and cell phone coverage may not be available until we’re in La Paz. That will likely be in a week or so. Best to you all.
Fair winds,
Suzanne & Tom
