Allora Voyage – Page 37 – The warmly cool, clear, ringing, perfumed, overflowing, redundant days, were as crystal goblets of Persian sherbet, heaped up – flaked up, with rose-water snow. — Herman Melville

San Carlos, (Mainland) Mexico

A music (and drink) filled celebration, 'Semana de los Santos' — A music (and drink) filled celebration, ‘Semana de los Santos’

Tetakawi Mountain is the backdrop for Marina San Carlos

Three years ago

two men walked down the dock in San Carlos

where Allora is now tied up

they came in broad daylight

shot a man to death on his boat

(he knew why)

they shot the boat, too, as they were leaving

Allora's at the end of the dock - during Semana Santo, we watched all the celebration boats go by, many of them with live bands playing aboard. — Allora’s at the end of the dock – during Semana Santos, we watched all the celebration boats go by, many of them with live bands onboard.

Cala Mujeres, Baja

Cala Mujeres/Bahia San Francisquito - wish it was an edible green! — We had to sail off our anchor from this spot, WHILE also ditching the hefty amount of algae on the anchor. This was the first real issue with the engine and what made us decide to head across to San Carlos.

El Capitan knows his diesel engine! Troubleshooting on the way in to PV. (bleeding the engine).

We never go too hungry! Huevos y Horchata para desayuno

Marcus got this cool shot enroute from San Carlos to La Cruz.

Animas Slot and Bahia de las Animas, Baja

Bahia de las Animas — I did another mosaic on one of these whale bones. Pics of all the mosaics are forthcoming!
