Marina Costa Baja pool time - and new owners - 2013

  We had a fun afternoon at the Puerto Beach Club - a new, exclusive benefit here at Marina Costa Baja. It was really nice. They gave us plush towels to use and the pool is an infinity pool looking over the beach and bay. The water is warm and there is a jacuzzi and it is also nice. 

La Paz to Puerto Balandra - 2023

 We spent a couple days here. We had 20 knots on the nose apparent and some spray in the cockpit, but it was still a comfortable couple hour passage. A bit rollie in the anchorage but we have our flopper stopper out. Water is great, clear and refreshing. Nice to be off the dock. It calmed down and tomorrow was nicer. 

Mermaid 5200 btu HVAC repair done and filters purchased - 2023

Purchased from Hector Marine - Filter material, 1 meter (approx. 3 feet). Good plastic product replacement from foam material provided by Dometic Marine. 4000 pesos. This where we brought our Mermaid Marine Air 5200 btu unit for repair.
It is nice to be able to find these kinds of things here. In the past in PV it was very difficult.
