Into the Yard

After a couple of boats were put back in the water, it was our turn to be hauled-out and moved into the yard.  This all went very smoothly and within a short time we were in the yard and properly propped up with a nice set of steps all the way up to the stern of Hilbre.

Baja Naval allow you to stay on your boat while it is in the yard and with full water tanks and a power connection, we were quite comfortable on Hilbre. There are restrooms and showers for the guests, and we were one of about eight boats in the yard.  Baja Naval keel the yard exceptionally clean which was a different experience than the US yards we have used. Everything is well organized, and the staff were immensely helpful, answering our questions and letting us know the schedule for the hull washing and painting. They helped us prepare arrangements for our wine tour into the Guadalupe valley, northeast of Ensenada.
