We are at Isla Coronados, which is about 6 miles away from Loreto, so we will stay here until Tues when we go pick up Gary and Marsha. We don’t have wifi but we do have a full cell signal (for text and voice) and 3G (for email) if you need to reach us. We are with the other kid boats again, so the boys are happy. BBQ on the beach last night just as we pulled into the anchorage
