La Paz

We made it to La Paz late Tuesday and are currently tucked into a slip at Marina Palmira where we plan to stay until after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is the first time in many months that we have been at a slip and it felt great to be able to wash Chrokeva down with fresh water. I was so excited to see the boat clean again I even decided to post a few photos on the blog although it would have been much more impressive if I had before/after photos :)

The crossing from Muertos to La Paz was one of the roughest I can remember as the seas were still very confused and steep due to the norther that was passing through. The boat did great but the crew of Chrokeva (including Jasmine and Dancer) were pretty shaken up by the end of the day. Mark hand steered almost the entire day to try to keep us from getting too beat up. Needless to say we all slept very well Tuesday evening.

The boating community is very active here and everyone is extremely helpful. There seems to be alot of boats that end up staying for many years after arriving in La Paz but we have alot of world we want to see so that will not be us. Right now we plan to leave the La Paz area heading for Mazatlan around the next full moon (December 2nd).
