San Felipe Part 2

October 27-31, 2013

There is nothing in the log book for the days we spent in San Felipe after the boys and I returned back from our trip to The States and when we departed to head back south. But there are a few photos, so I’ll share them here.

The huge tide swings in San Felipe
Most of the boats in the harbor with us were fishing vessels
While we were in San Felipe we met some scientists from San Diego who are studying and tracking the Vaquita population. The Vaquita is a small porpoise that lives only in the far north of the Sea of Cortez. They are severely endangered due to human fishing activity. Brenden is concerned for their plight, so he made this drawing to help spread the word. For more info, visit http://www.vivavaquita.org/
This series of photos was taken on our last morning in San Felipe when I went for a run out on the breakwater wall. They pretty well capture the San Felipe Harbor.

Subject: Leaving San Felipe Today

We plan to leave San Felipe today, so we only have internet for a few more hours 😦
We aren’t sure how far we will go on this first passage. We are going to hug the coast and most likely skip Puerto Refugio, but it will depend on weather and how we feel.
I had a great time up in the states, but it’s nice to be back on Exodus with Tim. Alex and I took the rental car back to Mexicali yesterday and then rode the bus back. He didn’t want to go with me, but then I told him it was for safety in that he’s big enough now that I would be safer if he went with me than if I went alone (just due to safety in numbers). He puffed his chest out a little and said, OK. He always did like being “grown up.”
Love and miss all of you…
