Bahia San Francisquito

July 30 – August 3, 2013

Bahia San Francisquito is a large, predominantly NE facing bay with two main anchorages: one good for southerly winds and one good for west and northwesterly winds.  We had a great time here doing lots of swimming, paddleboarding, and lobster eating!

Email to family and friends dated July 30, 2013

Subject: Left Santa Rosalia last night

We made it off the dock about 10pm last night. We still haven’t stowed all the loot we brought back from San Diego, but we were very ready to be out of the marina. The boys have caught 2 Dorado (Mahi Mahi) today and Tim is using his new fish cleaning station now so the filets will be ready to grill up when we anchor. We are heading to Bahia San Fransiquito and the boys are really looking forward to being able to swim and use the new paddleboards. We likely won’t have cell service for months but should have wifi off and on once we get to the Bay of LA. We had a great time in SD, and it was so good to see everyone.
Love you all,
-D.

There was still a little bit of daylight left when we arrived so the boys were in the water right away with Kyle and Joel.
