<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from Guaymas, Mexico!

   Guaymas MarinaOk, I&#39;ll admit it...I&#39;m actually writing this from the
   relative cool comfort of home in Marlborough, MA. We&#39;ve been home for
   a little over a week and we&#39;ve been flat out resetting our lives to
   land mode and getting the house/gardens back into some semblance of
   what we want them to be. As nice as it is to have the luxuries of land
   life, both Sue and I have said that we miss the simplicity of life
   aboard BlueJacket. However, what we don&#39;t miss ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from San Carlos, Sonora!

   MountainsThis is probably our last stop before we pull into Guaymas to
   get the boat hauled. Sigh... In reality that&#39;s OK as the heat and
   humidity have definitely arrived. I don&#39;t know what it&#39;s doing on the
   Baja side, but on the mainland side it&#39;s hot and humid. During the day
   it&#39;s in the mid-90s and it only gets down to mid-80s at night. On top
   of that it&#39;s humid, with dew points in the mid to upper 70s. Where is
   that hot, dry weather that we had on th...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from Bahia Algodones!

   Houses on hillI&#39;m happy to report that our passage to Bahia Algodones
   went off without any issues. No more fuel related drama. I&#39;ve gone
   back and re-calculated our fuel consumption and I think that I may
   have swapped 2 digits on the engine run hour meter. For example,
   instead of 4034 hours, I put down 4043 hours at my last fill, which is
   a difference of 11 hours and at 1.2 gallons per hour, that would be 13
   gallons less fuel. Also since I&#39;ve been running t...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from Bahia San Pedro!

   It&#39;s been a long day, so while I still have energy, I&#39;ll sit down and
   describe what occurred today. We decided that we would leave at around
   sunrise so that we could make the 14 mile passage to Bahia San Pedro
   before the winds and seas cranked up. Good idea, but Mother Nature
   didn&#39;t seem to have read the memo. The winds started out very light
   out of the SE (our direction of travel), but the seas were 3&#39;+ on the
   nose. Fairly quickly the winds picked up out ...]]></description>

   Sunrise over TiburonWhen I last wrote we were Isla Tiburon, where we
   had successfully thwarted any attacks by the Serri Indian cannibals.
   The forecast looked as good as it was going to get for the foreseeable
   future, so 2 days ago we set off on a 78 mile passage between Tiburon
   and Las Coralitos, which is on Mexico&#39;s Sonoran mainland. That&#39;s a
   long day passage, but thankfully it was the summer solstice, which is
   also the longest day o...]]></description>

   Doubloon at TiburonAs you may be able to tell, BlueJacket managed to
   escape from Isla Estanque. You may remember we were stuck at Isla
   Estanque in &quot;The Pond&quot; due to the fact that we didn&#39;t have enough
   water to make it over the sand bar at the entrance to the anchorage.
   We tried to leave at about 06:45, but we didn&#39;t have enough light to
   see the very narrow channel. As a result we had to wait until almost 1
   PM before we could get through the channel and even t...]]></description>

   Fog over Isla Angel de la GuardaI&#39;m getting to write this because we
   tried to leave at 7 AM this morning on a falling tide and couldn&#39;t
   make it over the sand bar at the entrance to the anchorage.
   Unfortunately it was a falling tide, so we have to wait until it come
   back up. So, Sue &amp; I used this time to get caught up on projects,
   including writing this log.

   Yesterday we left Ensenada el Quemado and headed E across Canal del

<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from Ensenada el Quemado!

   We&#39;re currently at the northern and western limits of our journey up
   the Sea of Cortez. From here we&#39;ll begin to move E towards the
   mainland and then begin heading S down the coastline towards Guaymas,
   where we&#39;ll leave BlueJacket for hurricane season. So far we&#39;ve logged
   about 1400 miles and have seen a lot of beautiful territory. It&#39;s kind
   of sad for me to make this turn back down the Sea of Cortez as I
   realize that there&#39;s a good chance that I won&#39;t...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[   Ahoy from Bahia de las Animas!

   FishingWe&#39;re currently in a bay named &quot;las Animas&quot; which refers to the
   church bells which are rung at sunset to summon &quot;lost souls.&quot; I don&#39;t
   know how that applies, but it&#39;s an interesting name. To get here we
   motored up Canal de Salsipuedes, which translates to &quot;Leave if you can
   channel&quot;. It gets it&#39;s name from the fact that it&#39;s very deep (over
   5000&#39; deep in places) and has strong currents, which can make it very
   hard to leave the area given the right...]]></description>

   Sue at San FrancisquitoWe&#39;re now located in bay named San Francisquito
   in the Northern section of Baja California, and thus the BCN
   designation. And we&#39;re now on Pacific time, but since the actual clock
   time doesn&#39;t matter much to us, I think that we&#39;re just going to stay
   on Mountain time so that we don&#39;t have to go and reset the clocks...

   We got stuck in Santa Rosalia for an extra day due to me breaking a

   Endorfin in FogWe&#39;ve been enjoying a nice, laid back stay in Santa
   Rosalia for the past 5 days. Santa Rosalia is an interesting town and
   it has a different feel from many of the other towns that we stopped
   in. The primary difference is that it&#39;s a working town and isn&#39;t a
   tourist destination. The area isn&#39;t particularly beautiful, the
   restaurants all serve the same local food, but they&#39;ve got a nice
   marina and there are enough stores that you can fin...]]></description>

   La RamadaIt&#39;s been over a week since my last log and I guess that&#39;s
   good as we&#39;ve been slowing down and spending time enjoying where we&#39;re
   at. It&#39;s also really helped that we&#39;ve met some very nice other boats
   that we have a lot in common with. But more on that later.

   Right now we&#39;re in Concepci&oacute;n Bay, which is more or less mid-way up
   the Sea of Cortez. When I last wrote we were in Isla Coronados getting
   ready to make the 60 mile jump to Concepci&oacute;n ...]]></description>

   First off, happy Memorial Day weekend. That&#39;s kind of a distant

   them selves and stays safe.

   Salt MineSurprisingly it&#39;s been a week since my last log and I need to
   catch up or I&#39;ll be way behind. When I last wrote we were in Puerto

   Puerto EscondidoMy last log was from Agua Verde, which was absolutely
   beautiful. Despite it&#39;s beauty, we needed to get moving, so we headed
   to Puerto Escondido, which was only about 17 miles away. In the
   anchorage we had 3 kts of wind, but once we got out into the Sea, we
   had about 10 kts, pretty much on the nose. As we motored into it, the
   winds continued to build until it was blowing 30-35 kts and I said
   &quot;Lets just turn around.&quot; as it was going ...]]></description>

   It&#39;s been a while since I last wrote, but I wanted to wait until I had
   Internet access as the places that we&#39;ve been have been too visually
   stunning to send out more e-mails without visible images. If you&#39;ve
   ever been to the desert Southwest, you know how amazing the scenery
   can be. Now just imagine adding aqua marine water to the mix and being
   able to sail there, and you&#39; ve got the Baja area.
