Amazing little town. We walked up from the beach to an officer fully armed informing me we were on private property. Gloria took care of the situation quickly. Fun place. Departing very early for San Quintin or all the way to Bahia Tortuga. Strapped up tight for a long voyage and great wind. If the wind holds we'll keep going. 

Stay tuned for more adventures....We'll keep track of Bluewater and crew and see where they end up!
