Marina Palmira La Paz Mexico, Dec 2-4th, 2009
Well we cleaned up the boat since she had logged so many miles in salt water. Today we rode our bikes into town all the way on the Malecon. So what is a day in La Paz like? Ok, a day in La Paz. Wake up to sunshine, make bed, put on shorts, t-shirt sandals, oil the teak furniture, clean the chair covers, watch the fish, see a huge puffer fish, get on the bikes ride two miles to town for lunch, have a cerveza and grilled fish, ride four more miles to Walmart for DVDs. Alexus gets a flat tire, kids with bikes pump up the tire, we give them pesos for their help. It goes flat again. We walk by 4 men who speak no English, but convey that there is a bike shop 2 blocks up. (Bike Angels)The shop, a cement block building 10'square, fix the tire we and pay the $3.50. We ride the 6 or so miles home on the Malecon along the bay of La Paz and watch the sun set.. ah…..Well after a taxi ride to the CCC ( big grocery store like a Super Walmart) and back the boat is provisioned and we are ready to explore the Sea of Cortez. Tomorrow we will head to Puerto Balandra, which is the home of the famous Mushroom Rock. It is only about 12 miles away so a very short day. Yea!!!!

It's interesting to see just how permeant memory has become in our every day lives. It seems like everywhere I turn, I see something with a card slot or USB port . I guess it makes sense though, considering how inexpensive memory has become as of late...
Ahhh... I shouldn't be complaining. I can't get by a day without using my R4 / R4i!

Hello and welcome to our trip blog. We have traveled in our 42' Nova Sundeck, NuMoon, from San Francisco (Alameda) up through the San Juan Islands of WA, the Gulf Islands of Canada, on up to Princess Louisa Inlet, Desolation Sound, Puget Sound, WA. and back to San Francisco. We left Nov. 8th, 2008 and cruised all of Southern California, Ensenada Mexico and the Channel Islands and returned north to San Francisco. On Oct. 15, 2009 we left Alameda again and headed to San Diego to Join FUBAR on to the Sea of Cortez and voyaged back to San Francisco arriving on June 10th, 2010. Now we enjoy boating the bay and delta until our next adventure.
