We got up early (6:30) and Renee’ got a shower while I got the boat ready to go. I filled the holding tank the rest of the way with water, unplugged the shore power cables, and when she was done with her shower Renee’ checked us out of the marina. Mike from Ikigai helped with the dock lines, and we were out by 8:30.
We went to Costa Baja for fuel (only fuel dock in La Paz) the price of the fuel is the same in town as at the fuel dock, but there is a docking fee of 1.8 pesos per liter. Diesel is 23.90 pesos per liter, so, 25.70 pesos with the dock fee, and at 3.8 liters to the gallon, 97.66 pesos to the liter, or (at 17 pesos to the dollar) about $5.77 per gallon. We left the fuel dock at about 9:30 and were out and dumped the holding tank and started the water maker by 10:30.
We turned north and decided that we could get to Isla San Fransisco today, rather than having an overnight on Isla Partida or Espiritu Santo. On the way, we saw a couple of turtles, and had virtually no wind or swells. So, we motored the whole way.
We arrived about 3:30, there were a few boats already here (8 with us) by dusk there were at least a dozen boats, some are Catamarans, some are big power boats. It is almost crowded.
When we got anchored, I checked the satellite texts, and found that Melanie (Renee’s sister had contacted us to let us know that Bonnie (Renee’s mom) had been walking in the Walmart parking lot, and someone not looking had backed into her with their car. Broken Tibia and possibly ankle. NOT good!
We communicated about that for a bit, and then had dinner and cleaned up.
