Calm morning view the other way into Ensenada Partida bay where Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida come nearly together and a connecting sand spit forms the bay.

Caleta Partida cove in Ensenada Partida bay is the only one of the half dozen anchorages in the islands 27 miles north of La Paz that has close to 100% wave direction protection. On our 3 day trip we had unsettled conditions with winds cloclocking around and from calm to 17 knots.

Christal clear water anchorage in Caleta Partida cove.

The beautiful long soft white sand beach in Ensenada Partita bay.

We have found that painting a PVC dinghy with PVC paint works well as UV protection and has extended the lives of our dinghys. Our current paint, Buoy Coat, other than being slow to dry has been the best and most economical one yet.

Ensenada Partida the largest bay in the Islands is between Isla Espritu Santo and Isla Partida.

More cactus on the beach Calita Partida.

Dana on the beach at Calita Partida cove. Sierra is in the background by far the smallest of the dozen boats in the anchorage, Dana was totally loving the looks and Portuguese bridge style of the big twin 800hp diesel Fleming 65 anchored outside of us! (Sorry no photo). The cheap Taiwan trawlers...

Garmin buying Navionics has hurt the charts, I hope Raymarine was revamped enough before the sale to give Garmin a run for their money. I hope it's not another wall street profit money shuffle like the west Marine deal.

Hi Kirk, I have a photo album "Sierra's Baja Adventure " that comes up over on the left side of the home page, I have added more captions to the photos than seems common in order to document Baja, towns, anchorages, Sierra, the watermaker and the Suzuki. Thanks for the link to the guage.

Back to the original thred, we have a question about reprogramming our C-10 Suzuki smart guage. We checked out authorized dealers in La Paz and found one a block and a half away. Suzuki seems to have become the dominant brand checking transoms down here. The big 100 footer next to us, Mexican...

A C-brat asked about Suzuki dealers in Mexico. There may be more than Yamaha down here, this is an authorized Suzuki dealer a block and a half from our marina. Unfortunately they are not familiar with our C-10 smart guage programming, I think they only sell the simple Suzuki gauge set here...

Almost any local marine metal fab shop can come and measure your boat and make you a great arch, it may not be the cheapest but most do great work.

Skydog, thanks for the back info. As for favorite C-dory we came from a big sailboat to a 25 Ranger Tug so we don't know the smaller C-dorys but compared to the extra towing weight, trailer length, deeper draft at launch and basic simplicity we like our older 25 CD as I am a fixer upper type and...

Anchored in Caleta Lobos about 10 miles from La Paz overnight with the old classic 1922 motor yacht Westward who has her lights strung up, in the foreground is a big Amel ketch.

Yes K.I.S.S. is good, that is why I took out the 1, 2 both off switch and put in separate house, start, switches with an ACR. With the separate combine switch you can bypass anything that fails. And you only need to use 1 channel of a really good charger which is easy to keep track of with a...

Boris, the 29' Ranger Tug was towed with a 1 ton Dodge like mine, not a dually. BUT he said he didn't get the necessary state by state Required wide load permits that can be a real hassle. If you get in a wreck without them your insurance company won't cover you or your liable damage and you...

Yes battery side and since I try to keep my batteries balanced as to type and age the start battery downstream has always been charged and kept at the voltage I want it either with the Procharger (which is a pretty sophisticated charger) or the solar, and pretty good with the alternator into the...

skydog, your back repair sounds amazing, I'm so glad your life is better. I hope you get your boat soon! Maybe there is hope for mine yet!

smckean, I believe I did wire my ACR from the strip of studs that are the first thing that my house and start battery are connected to before my main house and start batterys so they stay balanced. (along with the bilge pumps on the house side). An ACR if I remember correctly does use a few...
