A productive day….

I’ve now had two full days in La Paz and I’m really enjoying the downtime and not chasing wind… and sometimes avoiding it! We arrived on Friday mid–day tired. Tired from waking up at 03.00 to make the favourable current through Lorenzo channel. Coming into la Paz, it was evident that this is a popular and a growing community. Elaborate homes along the coast are being built. However mostly smaller than what the rest of North Americas new homes are. Sarantium motored into the long miendering channel with sand bars on either side of her. This channel is dug out in some places to allow for decent clearance of 4-6 meters of depth. We looked around and decided to anchor outside of Marina La Paz, but on the outside of the channel, as traffic might be busy with boats coming and going.

We dropped the anchor, got out of our sail clothing and quickly jumped into the zodia. I was so looking forward to fresh fruit and vegetables and of course a stiff drink with a big Mexican meal. We started with the stiff drink and worked backwards. After our meal by the beach of the Melacon, we found a dark alley with fresh produce and loaded up as much as we could carry. In our possession, we had fresh dates, mangos, prickly pear, avacodo, small bananas, to mention a few. It was time to get back to the boat and organize food, have a swim and go to bed. I slept like a log!
