La Paz.... la Paix....the Peace

Six a.m. departure from San Jose del Cabo, my camera catches the beginning ritual of this fisherman's day.

Well, look who's here?  Right next to us and passing us is Lilipad ! Neil and Elaine (below) first laid eyes on Lilipad late August I believe, and quickly made the decision that she was the one for them and right away started preparations for the Baja Rally.  Lilipad became "Insignia" but she continues to perform at the top of her game, making Don proud however a little nostalgic about her five bladed prop he wished he had on SpringDay.  Somehow I  know that's coming next....

A short stop in "Los Muertos" for the night for a reprieve from the head seas, the first ones since
we left Canada.  I loved watching the line up of the Nordhavns, they are great boats once properly commissioned!  I think this rally has about ten Nordhavns.
 
Ana Mae in the foreground stands watch while Bill and Kay swim over to Spring Day.  I wish I could reciprocate but the thought of being within an abundant sea life of ALL types gives me the heebie-jeebies!

Ahhhhhhh!  La Paz at last...

My favorite destination so far, the marina complex is called Costa Baja and is like a small, very peaceful village, a paradise for the less social and the peace seekers; its private beach counts very few footprints, its tennis courts are silent, its restaurants rich with service.  Struggling to make money, this resort still remains a living dream for the 77 yr old investor from Mexico City.  The city of La Paz is just a shuttle away. We'll go in a couple of days. Tomorrow I will show you a picture of MEDUSE, the smallest of four ships owned by Paul Allen form Microsoft.  

Tonight was officially the end of the FUBAR or Baja Rally of 2013 and ended with great music, dancing, good wine and great food...and great friends.

Thinking of you...
