June 9, 2013
We got up early and departed Puerto Ballandra at 7:35 and motored across the channel to Loreto, dropping anchor at about 9:05. It was a Sunday, so we could go to the Farmers Market, and it was fantastic. Since the weather was calm, we raised anchor under sail at 18:35 and cruised into the anchorage at Isla Coronados at 20:14.

Subject: Leaving Isla Coronados
We had a great day in Loreto today. We went to the Farmers Market and they had a fantastic selection of fresh veggies. Most of it was a lot like a swap meet, though, but all we got were veggies. We are anchored tonight at Isla Coronados and we will be heading to San Juanico tomorrow. Thanks to the SSB (Single Side Band) radio nets we’ve been in contact with Lady Carolina (another kid boat that G&M met when they were here) so they are waiting for us there. Gotta love ancient technology.
Love and miss all of you.
