Above Bonanza, Isla Espiritu Santu. Thats Adios III on its own on the right. I blew 45 knots and we were rock solid. The boats on the beach all drug except one as the sand was really granular off the beach. We felt very clever.

My dad always said that he was a well known fisherman and I was a sore dissapointmtent as I didn't like fishing or football. Well I ma catching up maybe as Chris is so keen. We have caught a numbe rof Dorados now - Delicious.

Coming out of Loreto the other day we caught a four foot plus shark. Pretty scary getting the hook out of its mouth, broke the ine in the end trying.

Well, we truly are failed bloggers. I watch Renovas blog and they make me cringe with incompetence. Sorry.

We are now leaving La Paz, today I hope, to head up into the sea for the summer. Glad to be out of here finally, though it is my favourite Mexican town so far, the people are really friendly.

I have helped a couple to put their boat on Dockwise which was fun, and helped another guy haul out. Time to get out before I get busy.

Watermaker is up and running, SO COOL to see that stream of fresh water whenever we run the motor. Makes about 18-20 gals an hour depending on water temp. We installed a cockpit shower to celebrate. Also changed the rear engine seal which was hot sweaty job and I STILL have a small drip from sowmhere.

Caught a nice Dorado the other day, but sadly didn't land it. Chris very excited about fishing prospects
