After the boys got over their initial letdown (they were expecting a resort town for some reason) we ended up having a nice time at Turtle Bay.
Turtle Bay is a large bay about halfway down the Baja Peninsula. We anchored on the north side of the bay near the pier and the village.A lesson in dropping the anchorA view of the village.A view of the dockSafe arrival cocktails

Hi, I’m testing sending an e-mail through our SSB radio. If you get this, send me back a brief text-only e-mail. Love you all.

I’m amazed, the e-mail through the SSB radio worked on the first try!
The inReach isn’t working right now, so if you check it when you get up, don’t panic. 🙂
I suspect the batteries died, but Tim’s asleep in our room, so I don’t want to wake him rummaging for batteries.
Love you all. -D.
Lonely Exodus. Much different than when we were here at Turtle Bay on the Baja HahaLots of room to cruise around in the dinghyAlex is just enjoying the rideA nice flat running beachThe desert landscapePlaying in the sand is always fun. Look, Brenden has on his life jacket. Where’s his crash helmet? Gotta keep that kid safe.My running footprintsThe water was still a bit chilly. We need to keep heading south!The only other traffic in the bay were local fishing pangasWe made it to the dockHeading to the village
Brenden, need I say more?Views of the village from the pierViews of the village from the pierBack to schoolA stunning sunset to end the daySunset reflection over the villageA trawler in the bayAll this space on the boat and they sit right next to each otherSome serious repairs going onBrenden wins with the first injury of the trip. He fell getting from the dock to the dinghy.
