Beautiful crossing




We crossed from Mazatlan to Isla San Francisco one week ago. There has been no email connection since we left Mazatlan so I am a bit behind on my posting, please forgive me!

We had a beautiful crossing that took 40 hours with very mild wind and virtually no waves until the last few hours. Rog hooked a marlin the last morning out and gave it a big fight before he lost him.. The fish jumped at least 20 times as he circle the boat giving his best effort to shake the lure. We had the boat in reverse just trying to keep him close when he finally gave up the lure. We will keep trying.

Isle San Francisco was unbelievable, water was every shade of blue and surrounding hills changed colors as the sun moved. I would go back there any time. Our next stop was Agua Verda that was even more gorgeous. Water was warm enough to finally swim or snorkel which we did every day. The kayaks were deployed too so we were very busy. We thought the dingy had been repaired but no such luck, still leaking.

We stayed in Aqua Verde two nights before heading heading up to Puerto Escondido for the Loretto Fest. That is where we are now, enjoying the company of over 100 other boats. I will post pictures shortly, camera is not working so well right now but I will figure it out.
