Santo Domingo is an anchorage at the north end of Bahia Concepcion. It was cooler, and the highlights had to be clams and dorado!

We moved up to Santo Domingo yesterday, which is a small bay at the north end of Bahia Concepcion. I can pick up a cell signal from Mulege, but no wifi/internet. The bees here are out of control, so we will be moving soon. The boys are out spearfishing on the north point so when they get back we will move. It’s been really hot, so we are spending most of our time in the water. We took most of last week off from school and we are going to try to get back into it today, but we’ll see. It’s hard to concentrate when it’s so hot.
Love and miss you all,

The cell signal has been weak, so no phone calls. We should be heading towards Santa Rosalia soon and will hopefully have wifi there. It’s been a little cooler the past 2 days (below 90) so that has been nice. Tim and Steve (from Lady Carolina) caught a Dorado (Mahi Mahi) yesterday and Carolina made Clam Chowder so we had another excellent fresh-caught dinner last night. I’m going to download weather now, so that will dictate our schedule heading North.
Love and miss you all,
-D.
We ended up leaving later that morning, so I guess the weather looked good. These next few photos are from my trip ashore at Santo Domingo before we left.
