After waiting and waiting for the depth sounder to be shipped we decided to return to Baja California and head back to San Diego and Indio to regroup. Bill had plenty of time to evaluate our equipment and the potential for major problems as we traveled further south. SO, we retraced our steps all the way to Santa Rosalia in Baja California South. We had some good weather and some irritating weather, but still nothing like the "Ugly Trip"... We stopped in La Paz for three days and anchored out the rest of the time, in spite of the fact that anchoring without the depth sounder was hectic and nerve-wracking. Fortunately, everywhere we anchored we had been at least once before so we had some idea of what to expect. We pulled back into the Singlar Marina and were surprised to find that there were only three boats there including us! A couple of days later we boarded a bus and rode the 15 hour trip to Tijuana. Thanks to Melinda and Arlene we were picked up and then brought to our very doorstep in Indio. Months of mail awaited us and there were bills to pay and tax data to organize, not to mention obtaining the supplies Bill needed to begin our reorganization of the equipment on Grey Wolf. Alice has been home two weeks and poor Bill has made a round trip plus another trip south to the boat where he is now working. It looks like Central America will be on our agenda for the fall of this year, not this spring.
