14*C @ 5:30am; 30*C in pm
Once
again it was VERY noisy here at 5:30 am; chicken and rosters doing their thing,
dogs barking and inconsiderate local people getting their bloody boats out of
the storage this early to go fishing and being noisy with truck (Dodge diesel)
and loud ATVs. Sure glad we are leaving
today! We did leave around 9:40 am and I
stopped for fuel on the way out and took on 144 litres. Fuel now is at 1.28 pesos (approx. $1.05
Cdn). The ride back to Santispac was
without any incident; we arrived at the beach around noon and set up. We did a “circle the wagon” arrangement. I drove in facing the beach, Ed backed in
facing us, and Reg closed the gap. This
way we are making a small partial square.
The kayaks were unloaded and ready to use. It is very warm, 30* at one point. Some of us went for a soak in the sea and
found the water warmer than the last time we were here. We paid for 4 nights ($20 Cdn).
We rode for
109 Km @ 70Km/hr average in 1.5 hr.

16*C at 7 am; 30* C in pm and windy
It
was a warm but quiet night! First thing
in the morning, the sales people came around with water, vegetables and pastry
for sale. Then later, it was the turn of the blankets and trinkets. We had
the pleasure of two schools of dolphins performing for us in the Bay as we were
having our coffees. We went to town to
upload our mail and found half the town closed…it is Monday!!! Anyway, we drove around and explored, visited
the old jail which was really interesting.
They used to have prisoners as far away as La Paz and could hold 100 or
more men and women. From here, we went
to find another campground and RAY’s Restaurant which is in the “CHURCHE’S”
book. Definitely not somewhere we would
take our rig; it is 3 miles of sandy roadway and very dusty but the place was
very clean and grassy and among farm lands.
We had a late lunch in town at another restaurant, checked our mail then
came home after picking up wine and bread.
The
rest of the crew had stayed behind and enjoyed sun tanning and kayaking. It was very windy in the afternoon and lasted
until after 6 pm when it calmed right down.
We had our generators going and watching TV around 7 pm when this jerk came
around and started swearing at Judy who was outside looking at the stars,
telling her to turn off their f….ing
generators as it was too loud.
Well all three of us heard and were outside within seconds and we gave that
guy a piece of our minds. I don’t think
he expected that!!! He was lucky to walk
away unscathed; Ed was quiet upset over the whole thing. I just can’t believe how some people are so
bloody ignorant; all he had to do is ask nicely and we would have obliged, just
incredible. Anyway, we sat out for a
while then called it a night.
15*C @ 7 am; 32* C in pm with light winds for a while
We
spent the whole day here, never moved except for a walk on the beach and some
kayaking. It was a hot day, the hottest
yet. Sharon had to go into town as she
is having pain in her lower jaw. Val
figured it was a gland infection which turned out to be correct. Ed and Judy went with them for support. We called it quit early for HH and came in,
started the generator, turned the A/C on and had dinner. Afterwards, we watched a movie then to bed.
16*C @ 7 am; 29*C in pm
It
was a warm morning with no winds. We
watched for dolphins but saw none. We
went into town later in the morning to have my computer looked at and got a few
things fixed (I hope) that the other guy in Cabo either missed or didn’t
do. We also picked up some beer and milk
(essentials of life) and had lunch at “SCOTTY’s”. We came home after stopping at the Mission on
the far side of the river. I filled with
water (150 pesos) and propane (972 pesos total for 129 litres @ 7.54 pesos
($0.70 Cdn). We had HH then I cooked
fresh halibut fish for dinner then we watched a movie in the evening. The wind has picked up and is cooling things
down; maybe we will have a comfortable night!?
14*C @ 7:30 am; 25*C in pm with winds
Partially
cloudy this morning and we had dew overnight.
We went into town to check our e-mail and picked up some wine and a few
other things. We had lunch at “SCOTTY’s”
with the crew then came back home where we proceeded to pack up some of the
stuff. Sharon has had a problem for a
while now with her jaw and tooth and had gone to the hospital to get it checked
out but she feels she should go back as soon as possible so it was decided that
they would go back with Ed & Judy accompanying them; we will continue on
our own as it was always understood.
It’s
been much cooler today but still warm.
We had a wind from the north but it eased up around dinner time. We even all wore a coat at HH. We had a light dinner then it was early in
bed. Tomorrow, we head for San Ignacio with a stop in Rosalita
