Just wanted to let everyone know why we ended up in Guaymas. (Location is about a 10 hr. bus ride north of Mazatlan if you know where that is.)
These were the ingredients for the outcome:
1. The cruising area of the Baja Penninsula is so beautiful in the Sea of Cortez side and it takes about 3 months to see it all. (Feb-June)
2. The boat needed bottom paint and Mexico is a good place to do that.
3. The boat needs to be out of the water for about a month in the desert while the blisters dry out.
4. The boat needs work which Biagio will do once the summer isn't so hot...probably in mid October when the temps go down from 140 degrees!
5. Once the water gets to about 80 degrees, hurricane season starts. Therefore the boat needs to stay at the lattitude of about Guaymas or further north to avoid damage.
For all these reason, Guaymas is as far as the boat went. It was all perfect.
