First (scheduled) Stop, Turtle Bay





Ah, civilization and cold beer.

Well, Ok then, just cold beer.

This bay is also known as Bahia San Bartolome. We arrived here after repairing the steering in Bahia San Quintin and two rough nights at sea. We were all ready for some land time and a quiet night’s rest. The town here is very small, actually it makes Minco, OK look like a big city. There were no paved streets but there were a few “Stop” signs. We did observe that these signs are merely a suggestion. They did have an “Internet Cafe” though. I spent a few hours there answering other cruiser’s computer questions and charging up our computers and the camera batteries. There was no coffee at this cafe only chips and Coke but the only charged me 8 pesos. Later I found out that I could have gone to the restaurant, El Veracruz, and gotten free internet with coffee or cold beer.


That night as we were wandering around the town we smelled the best bar-b-que. We followed our noses and joined some other cruisers an the best taqueria I have ever been to. The meat was cooked in front of us and sliced off and handed to us on a tortilla, YUM!!


The start of the next leg was delayed until 12:30pm the next afternoon so that morning we went to town and had the best Huevos Rancheros ever.
