We are back from an amazing week buddy-boating around Isla Partida and Isla Espiritu Santo with Tao, and are currently in a marina (!) in La Paz, hanging out with my parents who flew down for the week.
It being Monday, and having a fast internet connection, we thought we ought to upload some photos from the past week to see if we can make you a tiny bit jealous.
Pisces reaching next to Isla Partida.
Ensenada Grande on Isla Partida, where we spent some of the best days of our trip so far, hanging out with Tao, hiking, snorkeling, and cooking elaborate meals with no fresh ingredients.
The East coast of Isla Partida.
Just South of Ensenada Grande, good snorkeling along the rock shelf.
Ensenada de la Raza. The photo doesn't do justice to the color and clarity of the water. Unfortunately we couldn't spend much time here, as we were being chased around anchorage to anchorage by the Coromuel winds (a thermally generated South/West wind that pipes up after dark and generally makes otherwise wonderful anchorages into uncomfortable choppy leeshores).
Pescadito (pesky) has served us well, and we are very happy with our choice to have a hard dinghy rather than an inflatable + motor (besides everyone else has an inflatable and you can usually bum a ride if you really need it:-).
We had an impromptu photo shoot sail with Tao.

Hey Guys;
Looking great! i'm truley enjoying your blog. Ted Brewer promised me an 8 1/2 x 11 signed sail plan of the original "Jason", for a picture of Pisces under full sail. i don't know if the offer is still good, but it might be nice to hang in Pices's cabin. Take care. Gary, Susan and Pam
