Friday morning at 6:00 am we left Los Muertos for La Paz, passing through the Cerralvo channel during the morning before turning to head through the San Lorenzo Channel into the Bay of La Paz at about 1:00 pm. The weather had warmed up during the day and while we had to motor all the way to La Paz, it was a really beautiful day and a nice trip. Certainly better than last year when we had to fight our way from Los Muertos to La Paz in heavy wind in the middle of the night.

We tied off at the fuel dock of Marina Costa Baja at 4:15 pm to check in with our paperwork having covered 293 nautical miles since leaving Mazatlan. The entire trip had taken about 58 hours. In front of us on the fuel dock was ‘Venus,’ the boat Steve Jobs was still building when he died. At about 250 feet, its design draws interesting comments. It is lightweight aluminum, with lots of windows and highly polished stainless steel.
