We have been in the marina at Cabo for two days. The weather is warm and sunny. And that feels sooo good.

The local population is over 68,000 and there are probably that many Americans here on vacation as well. Tourism is thriving. Cabo has been rated as one of Mexico’s top 5 tourist destinations.  It is known for its beaches, sport fishing, scuba diving and marine life.

The marina has 300 slips and they are mostly filled with sport fishers. Maybe 10 sailboats…

Vernon and I walk about the marina area and to the market to provision. The area is very very Americanized. And almost all the locals speak English. There are hotels and condos everywhere. Makes me think of Las Vegas on the beach. The water pump suddenly isn’t working. We set about trying to figure it out. Of course you have to rip the place apart – pick up all the floor boards to find the leak.

BUT we find it and repair it. Feel like we almost pushed the easy button on that one! We relax and have picnic lunch in the cockpit.img_5019I even spend some time making brownies and cornbread – testing out my oven temps. Vernon works on cleaning up the boat.img_1371

We want to take up the next leg of the journey south but the norther that is soaking our family in southern California is pushing down on Baja too and creating big swells and sea. The journey will be another long overnighter to the mainland of Mexico to Puerto Vallarta.  So we will wait a day.

No rush, we are retired….
