We had a great time in Refugio, but it was time to head
south. We sailed with the tide and made good time. We stopped at Las Rocas
overnight. The anchorage was calm and no bugs!

The next morning we went to the Village in the Bay of LA to
get supplies, then out to Don Juan because hurricane Miriam was threatening. There
were 3 boats there when we arrived and another 8 or 9 came in after us. Miriam
didn’t come close, but since we were all there, we had an afternoon swim party
around ‘Jake’ and later a hurricane pot luck on the beach.

Oct. 1, it is time to leave the group of boats we have been
with this summer and make our way to La Paz.
We have a reservation in the marina starting Nov. 1.
We left Don Juan early and traveled 86 miles. We stopped
about 10 o’clock for the night at Punta Trinadad. We anchored in the dark and
left before sunrise. Sometime this anchorage gets windy at night and blows the
boats out of the anchorage. We got lucky and had a calm night.

Since we got an early start out of Trinadad, we arrived in
Santa Rosalia about 1 in the afternoon. We spent 5 days shopping and eating our
way through Santa Rosalia once again. We love this town. After La Paz, this is
our favorite.
Sunday, time to leave Santa Rosalia and move south. We sailed
38 miles to Conception Bay. We didn’t plan on going into the bay, so we stopped
at Santo Dominica for the night. ‘Nervana’ and ‘Beyond Reason’ were anchored there,
so we had cocktails together.

| Sailing into La Ramada |
We left the next morning for La Ramada. After 43 miles, we
anchored about 4:30. We were the only boat there. We stayed 3 days and spent
the time snorkeling and clamming. Yumm.

On
Thursday, the 11th of Oct. we went around the corner into San
Juanico. ‘Manta’ and ‘Pura Vida’ were there. We did a dive with them off the
point. We stayed another 3 days before moving on to Escondido.
