San Felipe Part 1

October 10-15, 2013

San Felipe was a stop of necessity, and not really a typical cruiser’s destination. But after a horrific passage it was a safe haven and then an easy place for Tim to stay with Exodus while the boys and I crossed to border for my sister’s wedding. It seemed different than the other Mexican towns we had been in recently, maybe due to it’s proximity to the border or maybe because I had been there before. In any case, our stay here marked the end of another era as the weather changed and we now considered ourselves fairly seasoned cruisers.

At low tide truck’s just drive down the beach to pick up the pangas
