We had planned to have left La Paz and the Sea of Cortez by now, heading south and over to mainland Mexico (e.g., Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, etc.). But it seems we like La Paz too much, and we like the Sea of Cortez.
The Winter air and water temperatures are warmer than we had been led to believe (it is currently 30 degrees C, and forecast to go up to 34 degrees), La Paz is a great little city, Marina Palmira an enjoyable place (with a good group of cruisers -- even you, Kevin -- as well as the marina staff). And the cruising is easy -- similar to day hopping in B.C.'s Gulf Islands.
The only negative are the norther winds; but we are learning to deal with these, and they are due to decrease.
So, we are in a (happy) quandary: Should we stay or should we go? *
* We do, after all, have next cruising season to see other parts of Mexico (and we will be in Mazatlan by the end of April this year).
We are constantly torn between the mountains and the sea. This blog is an account of our sailing adventures, both in British Columbia/Haida Gwaii, and to Mexico (2013-2015), as well as our mountain adventures (including skiing in the Winter, hiking in the Summer/Fall, and trekking in Nepal). Hopefully this blog will provide you with helpful information on these topics (in addition to documenting our adventures). Welcome!
