Made it to TOPOLOBAMPO!

 We finally pulled the umbilical cord from Santa Rosalia... our dear pueblo and dear friends. It was hard, but it had to be done. After two months there and in a marina (a cheap marina) we felt it was time to move along.

We sailed down to Santa Domingo, from there to San Juanico and from there to Bahia Salina... SAILED! It was so nice! We did over 8+ knots for over 3 hours straight at one point. The hull speed is only 7.5... we were flying!

Motored the ENTIRE time from Bahia Salina crossing to the mainland at Topolobampo. It was cold and foggy when we arrived early in the morning. It reminded me of the Pacific Northwest. And Jim was so hoping to make it to the tropics. We thought perhaps we had made a detour and landed in Seattle.

We were told we could not anchor out and had to go to a marina. Not happy about that. I'll get photos as soon as I can get internet again. Cool little town. Beautiful bays. Too bad we can't anchor out in them.
