We spent two months living in San Carlos getting Pairadice ready for the next big adventure. Our hosts at the Casita we rented were fabulous! Big shout out to Lydia, Spike and our neighbor Roy! Could not ask for better accommodations and their hospitality was over the top!
So we starting counting our travel days once we moved from the casita back on the boat.
Day 1: was moving day, and found the generator to have a problem. Appeared to be a fuse. No big deal, right?
Day 2: Up early and ready, made a fuel stop in San Carlos, topped off the tanks and headed for the first anchorage. San Carlos to Bahia Topolobampo. It was October 31, 20. A Saturday with a full moon. Love it when that happens! Dropped the hook, and rested up.
Day 4: Topolobampa to Mazatlan 215nm 30hrs The full moon helped a lot!
Day 5: 11/2/20 We arrived at El Cid Marina on schedule. Settled in to our new digs and found the Captain's Lounge at the hotel, for a bite to eat. Tomorrow was housekeeping and ship shape.
Day 7: Tom and Kay flew in from Portland to spend the week with us exploring Mazatlan. And that we did!
Walked Patches this morning excited to pick our guests up at the airport!
After we got them settled in on Pairadice and toured the grounds...
it was time for a visit to Panchos!
Best top shelf Margaritas we've ever found!

Everest, who is 12 years old was traveling with his parents on s/v Pandion. He was down to play a birthday concert on the bow Pairadice for that celebration. We sure do miss cruising with the Franz family as they are back home in Canada.
