Pictures, finally.

Hi Everyone, we finally have a little time and a good internet connection so I've posted a few pictures (many thanks to Dave on Megabyte for several of the Baja ones). Click on the picture to see a larger view. Some of them are pretty old (November) but all of them are of things I've written about in the blog. If you have any questions, just post a comment.

John and Linda

Mexico Rev 2 at its best. This is the crescent shaped bay at Isla San Francisco. The water is 15-20 ft deep where the boats are anchored and it's as clear as a swimming pool.

Linda hits the jackpot - tostadas! There were no lights in this part of the tienda. You just had to look around in the dim light until you found what you were looking for.

This is the store, the only store, in Agua Verde. Anything requiring refigeration is kept in ice chests or coolers.

Chasing away rattlesnakes creates a powerful thirst. Here everyone stops for a cold one at the fanciest restaurant in Agua Verde. Actually, it's the only restaurant in Agua Verde.

Linda and Debbie around the big rocks where Linda heard a rattlesnake. This is a box canyon in Agua Verde.

Here's a panoramic look at the mountains around San Evaristo, the Sierra Gigante.

Linda and Debbie on the road out of San Evaristo. 10 miles on this rocky surface and we were all ready for a beer.

John says, 'Here hold this, I'll show you how to ride one of these babies.' These we think are Burros.

Here's Linda and Debbie checking out the mule at San Evaristo. (Thanks to Leslie for letting us know how to tell the difference!)

This is the way down on the Isla Partida hike. Going down on your butt is the safest way!

Here's a view from the top of the hill at Isla Partida.

Linda and Debbie (from Megabyte) pause for a break on our hike up the hill at Isla Partida. Mexico Rev 2 is quite evident here, cactus and low brush replace palms and dense forest.

A brown booby that stoped by for a visit on our way to Mazatlan.

This is a pic from the hills overlooking the Barra de Navidad lagoon. Nakia's in the mix somewhere. This was the calmest anchorage we'd been in since Canada.

Sunrise at Barra de Navidad. The beginning of another day for the fishermen who come to the lagoon early to get bait.

Here's the main man in Zihuatanejo Bay, Ismael and his trabajadores. He brings water, beer, ice, fuel and anything else you want directly to your boat.

Here's John putting water in the boat after delivery from Ismael.

Here's the crew of Dr. John (http://www.saildrjohn.com) in the jungle river ride at Tenecatita Bay.

You never know what's happening on your boat while you're away. This boat had a mexican 'news' crew shoot tag lines from the deck!
