We arrived mid November in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico where our boat, Sea Lady, is stored on the hard. She was moved to the work yard and had the bottom sandblasted. Now they will patch the bad spots, which unfortunately involves removing the rudder, then float a coat of epoxy over the hull. That is followed by a coat of barrier paint and finally the bottom paint. As is true for many of our projects, it’s taking longer than we expected so we likely won’t get to La Paz, B.C.S. until the middle of December.
While here in San Carlos we are staying in our mini RV in the Totonaka RV park where we stayed last year. They provide full hook-ups and showers and restrooms, plus wifi. Each day RVers come in and leave. Many folk are Canadian headed further south. Some of their destinations are Tenacatita and Boca de La Laguna.
La playa, the beach, de la Bahia San Carlos which is just across the road is great for walking and hunting for beach glass, shells and rocks and for watching sea life. I saw dolphins just off the beach the other day.
