We found out about an awesome side trip to see whales up close from our friends John, Cindy and Journey on S/V Namaste. February 16 we rented a car with Theresa and Niko from S/V Savarona and we all hit the road north out of La Paz. In a few short hours of driving we were out of La Paz and passed by many of the scenic anchorages and towns along the Sea of Cortez coast that took us weeks of sailing south to pass.

It was bittersweet to get a full crew together and race Astraea in a Saturday Veleros de Baja sailboat race. We invited our friends from S/V Namaste, S/V Sea Rover II and S/V Greybeard to hang out and crew for the race. We started the race with a mimosa toast to Astraea's final race under our ownership. After the race I emailed a report to Latitude 38 and they posted about the sail in their magazine and online: [ 203 more words. ]

With the decision made to leave the boat for sale in La Paz, we sailed back into La Paz and got a slip at Marina Cortez. We had lots of work to do, and wanted the ease of living at the dock while we did it all. Plus, there was a giant Norther in the forecast and we didn't want to be stuck in the anchorage unable to enjoy the events of Carnaval that was starting on February 4th. [ 580 more words. ]

By the third week in January, we were BORED! We'd been in La Paz since the beginning of December when my mom came to visit. All the big projects (sealing the toe rail and the v-berth hatch, rotten mizzen spreader replaced) we needed to get done before bashing north to San Diego were complete, but we were starting to feel like that might not be the best option.

Back in October when we were getting ready to head back to the boat, Nate got the word that his old job (this time as a civilian) was available. With the cruising kitty running a little low, he put in his application and we assumed that our cruising adventure was soon coming to an end. The plan was to get the boat back in the water and make our way back to San Diego by the New Year. [ 397 more words. ]
