Our friends Ted and Carolyn Burrage arrived on Monday, November 12 and left just this morning, November 21. We were able to squeeze in a bit of shopping and lunch out one day in La Paz before pulling out of Marina Costa Baja. We traveled through the San Lorenzo Channel and south to the anchorage at Muertos, where we arrived just in time to anchor before dark set in. Then the guys fileted a dorado Alice had caught and we had a nice barbequed fish dinner! The anchorage was great and we all slept well. 7 AM the next morning we head out to cross the Sea of Cortez- all 190 miles of it. We had 'the road' to ourselves and saw NO vessels all day. Ted spotted a large fishing boat about midnight as he pulled his shift at the wheel. Ted caught 3 tunas and we had BBQ tuna the first night in Mazatlan! The bus was a convenient way to get around and we made LOTS of trips into town- Mazatlan is a pretty place, especially in the historic district and the Zona Dorado where all the nice hotels and restaurants front right out on the sea. Food is less expensive than the Baja and the restaurant meals were fantastic! Carolyn and I shopped til we dropped... and the guys did their own thing, too. Aside from both Carolyn and Bill suffering through colds, we certainly enjoyed the time together! Come back soon!
