| Motorsailing to Santo Domingo |
Hola from San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. We got here yesterday, a day earlier than we planned -that weather thing again. What a great place! We took a dinghy ride around and took some pics. We have from now until March 7th to get IRIE all ready for the dry storage here which will be very HOT and dusty. The list has been getting longer each day instead of shorter. Right now she's getting a spa treatment by a couple of locals. Body wash and nails buffed and polished. Looking good!
We've managed to visit three local bars/restaraunts so far - all good - and met up with old friends from s/v Circe who we played volleyball with in La Paz a couple years ago. So much to do, and so little time. We dedicate ourselves to boat work until mid afternoon each day, then it's time to enjoy ourselves.

There were probably 20 dolphin playing around us here in Bahia Conception. Sorry I couldn't get a better picture of it all.
No one had a working telephone in the little bay we anchored in (el Burro) so we had to hitchhike to Mulege about 16 miles away for supplies. This was a new experience to say the least! And yes, we did find a taxi to bring us back.
San Carlos is an exceptionally beautiful place with all sorts of rocks and caves, islands and bluffs, bays and mountains, and homes to match. A small town with a large percentage of Americans in residence. Most of the locals speak some English which sure makes it easier for us. It's easy to see why people like it here.
The marina is very nice, but at California prices, it should be. Yet, the dry storage facility is really quite reasonable at about 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of putting up a boat in La Paz or other ports. That's one of the main reasons we're here.
So, it's back to work for now.
