It was time to leave the beautiful Isla Partida and continue on our adventure. \u00a0Trevor and I decided to cross the Sea of Cortez to the mainland side of Mexico on October 12th.<\/p>\n

\"The
The red line is our path to cross the Sea of Cortez-Isla Partida to Isla Tiburon to San Carlos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We arrived at Isla Tiburon right before sunset after a 40 miles sail\/motor and anchored safely. \u00a0The next day we had a 74 mile passage from Isla Tiburon to San Pedro and needed to leave really early in the morning so we called it an early night. \u00a0The trip was pretty great with lots of wind on a beam reach and downwind sailing! \u00a0We saw 3 Orca whales, lots of “walls of tuna” that looked like the sea was boiling. \u00a0They seemed to be crossing the Sea of Cortez as well (we didn’t catch any though). \u00a0But we did catch a Sierra!!!<\/p>\n

Ummm. Dinner!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Perdo was wonderful and different. \u00a0We anchored in the bay where the beach was mostly little pebbles rather than sand. \u00a0The sound of the waves on the pebble beach rather than sand and it was so different than we have heard\u00a0here in Mexico and our time on the Baja…it was refreshing. \u00a0Also, the land changed from mountains to more rolling hills with palm trees and more greenery. \u00a0AND..the crickets!!!!<\/p>\n

The next day we motored to Bahia Algodones only about 15 miles away from San Pedro and 6 miles from San Carlos where we planned to stay for some boat work. \u00a0Algodones Bay was a significantly different place than we have seen….Civilization!!!!<\/p>\n

Wingwoman<\/strong> – While Trevor and I were finishing up our bucket of beer, we met 2 guys next to us who were in town for business. \u00a0To make a long story short, we hit it off and hung out with these guys for another round of buckets of beer…FOR EACH OF US (translation error)! Needless to say, we were feeling pretty good. \u00a0Some of you will be able to visualize this…..I played “wingwoman” for Doug with 4 ladies from Arizona celebrating birthdays. \u00a0My opening line was “do any of you know which star that is?” It worked like a charm…..Doug spent the good deal of time with them. \u00a0Needless to say Doug and I are now Facebook friend!<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, the next morning was slow going. \u00a0We motored to San Carlos, just 6 miles away to find our friends Due West (Heidi and Kirk) and Ingenium (Boni and Jon) in the bay as well.<\/p>\n

The next few days Trevor and I scheduled our boat to be hauled out, walked to town, and did some socializing!<\/p>\n

Bussed to Guaymas, just 17 miles from San Carlos, to go to the Wednesday market. The market is like a large garage sale and farmers market in one. Here is a guy selling watermelons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well it was our time to get hauled out of the water and put into the work yard. \u00a0Let the work begin!!!!!\"img_0502\" \"img_0511\" \"img_0512\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
