Amigos

After the complications of provisioning, flat tires and rental car returns, it is a relief to head out on the water with our friends Chris and Keith. Both have spent time on the Independence before and it is great to have the crew back on board. We head north towards the spots we have scouted previously and choose anchoring spots according to the wind.

Day 1: We anchor at the neighboring Puerto Balandra and tender over to Tecolote for a cerveza

Day 2: Rum punch at Bonanza anchorage after a great snorkel at the rocks in the background

Heading north to San Evaristo

Sunset at San Evaristo

Day 3: Independence back at anchor in San Evaristo bay. We take the tender to dinner at the palapa bar.

Day 4: Isla San Francisco. We tender to the beach for the hike around the island

The winds pick up so we head back to the marina. With four footers and the wind at our stern we are joined (again) by an amazingly playful pod of dolphins. Photo by Larry

After washing down the boat the crew deserves a cold one. We celebrate a great cruise with even better friends at the pool bar back at Marina Costabaja.

Thanks amigos for coming to La Paz and cruising on Independence with us!
