Rest stop

We got into La Paz yesterday. Located about 80 miles up the inside of the Baha peninsula in the sea of Cortez. We motor sailed into a 15 to 18 knot headwind with steep seas for most of the day to get up to where you turn the corner for La Paz. By steering just off the wind we find we get quite a bit of drive from the main sail to help the engine push us through the steep seas. We anchored in a bay called Puero Balanandra about 12 miles from La Paz, as it was a bit late to get into town. We rowed over to have a look at the locally famous mushroom rock that they fixed with some rebar after it fell over. The next morning motored into LA Paz. It is our first really protected anchorage since we left San Diego. We anchored out yesterday and today paid for a marina slip for the next 5 days. Making it easier to get our chores done. We have been playing tourist for the last month, so now it is time to do a bit of work, some boat jobs and provisioning.
There is quite a cruising community here, lots of fellow cruisers to talk to.
