A Piece of Paradise - Bahia Concepcion - 3/17 - 3/24/11

Tom and I struggled to balance “we’re cruising” with “we gotta get back to the Bay Area in 3 months”.  So most places we left sooner than we would have liked.  But, Bahia Concepcion was promised to be the place to totally decompress – and decompress we did!   Anchored in Playa Santispac, we had a splendid 6 days of paradise. 

The time was filled with all the things that the cruising brochure promised.

Beautiful scenery, great places to eat, interesting places to go, and terrific people to meet.  And time to just read and relax and polish the stainless.

Here's some of our favorite Concepcion memories...



Geary is the Sonrisa HAM net Weather Guru.
We listened for his SSB weather every morning or read his report on http://www.sonrisanet.org/ .
We were welcomed by Geary at his home/weather station palapa in El Burro Cove.
Geary is a gracious host and a key resource of all Cruisers in the Sea of Cortez



Bertha's Restaurant in El Burro Cove - great Fish Tacos!

Steve and Linda Warren of "Warren Peace" first met us when they installed their new Yanmar engine at List Marine in Sausalito.  It was terrific to reconnect with them in Bahia Concepcion.

The massive, bright full moon rising over Bahia Concepcion on March 22.

It was in the light of the full moon that we weighed anchor at 0430 on 3/24 to head for Santa Rosalia.
