Finally figured out why I could not put pictures here. Thank you Word Press for the very informative (NOT) error messages. Thank you Apple for changing formats of pictures to something that is not always supported. The new phones we bought just before we left San Diego (iPhone 11 ProMax) take great pictures, but the default format for pictures is HEIC, when is apparently not supported by WordPress, which is what we use for our blog. So, I had to change the format of the pictures to JPEG and change the camera setting in the phone to save the future pictures to JPEG so that we can upload the pictures.

So, here are some pictures from our trip down the west coast of Baja, in no particular order. I will post a couple of pictures in a couple of posts titles West Coast of Baja Pictures #x and future posts will include pictures (in the correct format!).

Slow start, checked engine, generator and outboard oil change info and updated Fuel and engine hour logs. No oil to change until we get to La Paz in a week or so.

Washed the boat! It looks great!

Renee’ took all of the laundry to get it washed. The price is about the same as going to a laundromat, and it gets delivered back to the boat by 6 pm.

This is a nice marina, and it is pretty new. A good one for our first marina in about 6 weeks. They are set up with single slips, so we pulled straight in and tied up on both sides. As I said it is pretty new.

We wound up parked next to Aloha, a boat (and a couple) we have played tag with all down the west coast. This is Mike and Leilani

On the other side side we were parked next to Kyhria (Sp?) with Jordan on board. He left about 1 pm today. He is buddy boating with 2 other boats. They had another boat that was coming down, but they had issues with a bad storm in Punta Santo Thomas and sank.

Still no pictures. I am not sure why, we have a faster internet connection I have tried uploading smaller pictures, but it is not working. Oh well.

We got up on time and had breakfast and did our devotions. Then went ashore to check out. A half hour dinghy ride to the dock, then a 20 minute walk to the port administration office, 200 pesos to get the document that says we are debt free here. (18 pesos to the dollar) then a 20 minute walk to the Port Captain to get the paper that says we can leave, then a 20 minute walk back to the dinghy and then back to the boat and fuel (lots of fuel!) then out by noon!

We did a slow power drive over, only about 17 miles, took about 3 hours so we could make water and fill up the water tank, then dump the holding tank and in to the marina. We will be here a couple of days, probably leave Sunday after church.
