Ensenada to Bahia Santa Maria Picassa Pictures
We took off late this morning (after Algebra…our new master…second only to the weather). The seas are flat with a steady wind of 10-15 knots at our hind quarter – so we’re making a steady 5-6 knots, perfect point of sail for Silver Lining, quintessential day. Our plan is to head straight for Bahia Santa Maria we’re getting very excited to explore the mangroves of Mag Bay with the kids. I really think they’ll love that place.

The coast here is amazing – reminiscent in shape and color of the inland mountains and deserts of Nevada and California. It seemed out of place last night to see Pelicans and Frigate birds riding the up-wellings where one expected vultures. And all this water in a desert! None to drink! I guess that’s why the coast is not cluttered with development. The sunset view properties on land are certainly abundant.
