Backwardation

Given that it's now July, we'll have to step back in time a bit to pick up the story.  You might recall that in our last post there were pictures missing - locked in the broken ship's computer.  Well, they're free now, so we'll begin this post somewhere in the middle of the last one............

This was taken on that first day out of La Paz.  We were still getting used to IRIE's new canvass and I couldn't resist taking this shot of the "blues".  One day I'll remember to install the filter on the lens that makes colors more correct in daylight, but for now,          the new blue canvass, the old blue canvass, the sky, and Caribbean looking blue water.  It was pretty spectacular at the time.

One of the many fishing Pangas racing through the anchorage to and from the tiny fishing village of San Evaristo.

A couple days later, we met friends at Punta Prieta, a small anchorage with no fishing village attached.  Allan and Ali from sv Sea Boa in the foreground, and Mark and Mimi from sv Mimya with Claudia.  We had dinner aboard Mimya back in La Paz after which Mimi brought out a boatmade lemon meringue pie! Mmm    No, this did NOT inspire Claudia to attempt to make ANY kind of pie aboard. 

  




The anchorage and the amazing colored rocks at Punta Prieta.

The next afternoon, just after getting IRIE hooked up on our borrowed mooring in Puerto Escondido, the storm that would provide excitement for the next couple of days approached.  See previous post for more on this one.

Can't remember where this was taken, but a nice sunset moonrise shot of Sea Boa.

Anchor up, and away we go.  Ninety one miles to San Carlos.

    









So there you have our 2014 season.  Short, but outstanding.  And, as you know, IRIE is now for sale, but we're hopeful for one more season.  So, with a little luck, we'll see you right here again the first of next year.
