Cabo San Lucas
Bahia Santa Maria to Cabo was only 180 miles and we made it in 25 hours. Though we had to motor for about half the trip. Cabo is quite the impressive sight from the sea. There are beautiful hotels and homes built on the beach and right into the rocky outcroppings. We anchored out at Cabo as the rate for a slip was nearly $200 per night. Cabo is a dollar driven sport fishing and tourist mecca. We walked through the glitzy waterfront and a few blocks into town and had really great tacos at a tiny stand. Susan had 4 tacos and a drink for about $5. On our walk back she had an ice cream at the waterfront for $6. That will give you a bit of an idea how the waterfront tourist versus regular mexico.


The anchorage in Cabo was quite unpleasant as the swells roll right into the harbor and there are jet skis and parachute boats and party boats going around and around. Therefore we left right after the Ha-Ha awards ceremony where Cooper was awarded the “Youngest Ha Ha er” award. His picture may appear in the next Lattitude or ‘lectronic latitude, which is available on the internet. Given the development of Hurricane Sergio, currently 5-600 miles south we decided to go directly to La Paz to watch it’s development.
