Leaving La Paz

After resupplying, changing the alternator, cleaning the boat, and eating out for dinner, it was time to leave the dock and move off to the islands to the North.  After handing off the gate keys we departed at 07:45 a.m.  There was no wind, no waves, and no sun.  It was overcast with temp in the mid 70's.  The trip to Isla San Francisco was 42 nm, and took a little over 6 hours.  The water was like glass, so different from a few days ago when the waves were large and the wind was blowing in the 20 knot range.  Today the only waves were from a tanker that passed in front of us.  Just before going to bed we noticed a few rain drops.

Rain Clouds

This morning it is raining, and it continued off and on all day.  Since our weather station is situated under a solar panel I can't say how much it rained.  Even though it rained we took a ride in the dinghy to the beach and found some nice sea shells by the sea shore.  No one else was out on the beach so we had it all to ourselves.  We took the dinghy to the south point where there are more rocks and fish to see.  If the water was warmer, it is 69.8 degrees (air temperature is 69 degrees), this area would be good for snorkeling.  Last night there were 7 boats anchored here (it is a big place, plenty of room), all but one besides us left.  Later in the day there are 5 boats here, 4 are from the same marina dock we were from.
