Journey's End

How many pastel sunsets does it take to decide to do this again
We explored a few new anchorages on Baja and wound up at Punta Chivato to wait for the right weather to cross back to San Carlos, near Guaymas (5 hours from the Arizona border) where the journey began. We departed April 22 at 7 a.m. with lumpy seas, but they eased and the wind built and we sailed for four hours before having to turn the engine on again for the rest of the trip. We arrived in San Carlos at 7 p.m. with several layers of clothes on (it was chilly) and anchored. Ahhhh -- it's good to be back.

Got a list of things to do to put the boat up for the summer, so we'll be running around for a week or so. But our truck is here and it's good to have our own wheels again as we start transitioning back to life on terra firma and eventually reintegrate into U.S. culture. See ya next winter!
