After we left Bahia Salinas on the east side of Isla Carmen, we rounded the northern tip of the island, stopped at Vee cove for lunch and then ducked into Isla Coronados for the night. Next day we returned to Loreto for more provisions, then sailed to Puerto Ballandra, also on Isla Carmen for a few nights. From there we sailed to Puerto Escondido, completing our circumnavigation of Isla Carmen. At Puerto Escondido we filled up with diesel before heading a few miles south to Bahia Candeleros to spend a quiet night at anchor in front of a beautiful resort. We were waiting for a part to arrive that was being trucked down from San Diego. It arrived this morning in Puerto Escondido so we motor sailed back to PE to pick it up -- and returned once again to Isla Coronados. Our plan is to stay here for a few days, installing the new part (a repair for a broken one), finishing up our taxes, taking a hike, and then on Saturday heading back to Loreto for fresh produce before heading north.
We're very excited that our granddaughter, Amber, will fly down after her finals in May to join us for the last leg of our journey this season. She'll also drive home with us and see the beautiful sites on Baja California.
