<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from the crew of the BlueJacket!

   BlueJacketYes, it&#39;s that time of year again when our ski season is
   rapidly dwindling away and our attention is shifting towards
   BlueJacket and our upcoming cruising season. Believe me, lots of prior
   attention attention has been applied, but at this point we realize
   that we&#39;ve got less than a month before we&#39;ll be back on the boat.
   Wow, time at home sure has flown!

   This year we have been quite lucky to have known several cruisers who
   were dri...]]></description>

   Agua Verde ChartWe&#39;ve been back at home in Marlborough, MA for about a
   week and are trying to re-sync with &quot;normal life&quot;, but I&#39;m not sure
   who defined &quot;normal&quot;. In some ways it&#39;s nice to be back, but as Sue
   says &quot;Life onboard the boat is much easier&quot; and I completely agree.
   You don&#39;t worry about what you wear, what car you drive, most people
   are very friendly and if you don&#39;t like your neighbors or your view,
   you pick up the anchor and move else...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from Geoff &amp; Sue aboard the BlueJacket!

   I&#39;m happy to report that we finally made it to Isla Monserrate. I&#39;ve
   been wanting to get here for the past 2 years, but we&#39;ve never made
   it. Thankfully this year the weather gods cooperated and we were able
   anchor there. Isla Monseratte is located between Agua Verde and Puerto
   Escondido (along with a lot of other beautiful places). There are
   anchorages located on the SW and N ends of the island, so one would
   think that it would be easy to...]]></description>

   Sierra de la GigantaI&#39;m writing this from Puerto Escondido where I&#39;ve
   just finished doing one of my favorite things...watching the sun come
   up and light up the Sierra de la Giganta mountains that tower above
   this section of coast. The mountains are very red in color and the
   warm morning sunlight just makes them glow. They&#39;re 4700&#39; high right
   here and their peaks just a few miles from the coast, so you can
   imagine how steep they are. In the photo...]]></description>

   Sue sewing coverOur cruising lately can best be described as floating
   up and down the Sea of Cortez with the tides. We&#39;ve pretty much been
   &quot;stuck&quot; in the same area with minor changes in location. Believe me,
   this is not an issue as this is definitely some of the most beautiful
   scenery in the Sea and it&#39;s been extremely enjoyable to just sit back
   and enjoy it without feeling the pressure to be constantly moving.

   West Anchorage at Isla CoronadosThe last time that I wrote we were in
   Puerto Escondido and headed north to points unknown. Well, we didn&#39;t
   make it too far north as we pulled unto Isla Coronados and we&#39;ve been
   here ever since. As Sue said, this place reminded her of Light House
   Reef in Belize as it has beautiful anchorages and lots of places to
   dive. There are 3 anchorages here and we&#39;re in the W anchorage as

   Loreto-FestWe had a great time at Loreto-Fest, which is a 4 day annual
   event in Puerto Escondido which brings hundreds of cruisers together
   for seminars, games, fun, food and of course to celibate my birthday.
   :-) We&#39;ve never been to it before, so we didn&#39;t know what to expect,
   but we had a wonderful time. It&#39;s put on by the Hidden Port Yacht Club
   and all of the proceeds go to local charities.

   Bahia SalinasI&#39;m way behind in writing logs, so I had better get my

   Escondido at a cruiser&#39;s rally known as LoretoFest and that&#39;s been
   chewing up all of our time. Anyhow, when I last wrote we had stopped
   in Bahia Candeleros and we were headed to Isla Carmen to find
   protection from an approaching front. We didn&#39;t quite make it before
   the front came though, and we even got to see a c...]]></description>

   Stunnng ViewsI have Internet access for the next several hours, so
   I&#39;ll try to get you caught up with our travels. When I last wrote we
   were in La Paz and had decided to head back N for a while instead of
   heading to Mazatlan on the mainland and exploring that side before
   storing the boat. I must say that I&#39;m very happy that we made that
   decision as I find the section of the Baja that we&#39;re currently in to
   be absolutely stunning. I know that I ma...]]></description>

   Once again we pulled into Marina Palmira, which has beautiful

   Los GatosWe hope that everyone has been having a wonderful spring.
   It&#39;s been beautiful down here on the Baja with night time temps in the
   50s and 60s and highs in the low 80s with low humidity. We rarely see
   clouds, so you really have to be good about applying sun screen. The
   water is finally starting to get warm enough to play in too. Both the
   air and water temps are quite a bit cooler than when we were hear last
   year. I&#39;m clearly getting into ...]]></description>

   out of school and the beaches are packed with people camping and

   increasingly filled with tents and people playing in the water. It&#39;s

   we just spent several very enjoyable days. We departed from Isla San
   Marcos for Bahia Concepcion on Monday and while we were underway our
   depth sounder went out again, with the exact same symptoms as the unit
   which failed as we left Guaymas. I spent the trip to Concepcion trying
   to debug the issue, but finally gave up.

   the work items on our list and pulled off of the dock late in the

   entrance to Guaymas. At 5 AM, while it was still very dark, we
