The highs and lows of Puerto Penasco

We have arrived in Rocky Point, aka Puerto Penasco, northernmost port in the state of Sonora, Mexico. We are only an hour's drive from the international border, with Lukeville, Arizona on the other side!  We have come here for several reasons:  Bill's brother Barry is here on his boat, the marina is inexpensive, AND we will be able to travel to California in just a few hours~  which we will do on March 1.

Barry has been showing us around the town and made sure we got

to have the chili size and the Sunday breakfast at one of his fave

restaurants-  The Pink Cadillac, a cool fifties themed place.

Puerto Penasco 'enjoys' some of the world's most

extreme tides, and with the full moon this weekend,

it was even more extreme! Our depth under the boat

measured less than three feet during this photo...

Au contraire, in THIS photo we were at 25 feet!  Pretty crazy, huh?

This wide swing doesn't affect us much, unless you want to walk up

or down a ramp at LOW tide- that means a work-out!  The place

featured in these photos is the local boat yard... where we just may

have the boat painted this year- pulling out at high tide, obviously!
