La Paz – We understand why cruisers arrive here and find it hard to leave! – January 14 to January 30, 2011

Tomorrow morning (Sunday 1/30) we set sail for La Cruz/Puerto Vallarta on the mainland (about 390 nm and a 3 day sail). 8-15 knots of N/NW winds forecasted.

We can hardly believe we’ve been away from the Bay Area for 6 weeks. I’ve started to update the blog several times since arriving to La Paz – but there has been so much to do here and so many interesting people to meet, that it’s taken until today to post the update!

When we arrived, we were greeted with a dock party. Today, we were sent off with the Beach Party / Bocce Ball Tournament at Restaurante La Costa where we made new friends and enjoyed time with "old" ones (Thanks Carole and Janie for the pictures of Tom and me in the heat of competition!).

Many have come to La Paz and decided not to leave. So we decided to "begone" before we decided to stay, too. But we'll be back in a month.

Next anchorage is likely Banderas Bay.
Fair winds,
Suzanne and Tom
