Made it to Ensenada de los Muertos and are very happy to end a 36 hour trip that took us 73 ½ hours; 3 days and 3 nights. We didn’t have enough fuel to motor the entire way across the Sea of Cortez, so we ended up sailing much further south before being able to turn north.
We are really happy to be in this quiet bay with clean warm water, and you can see the bottom! Marcus has already been swimming. Temp around 80 and sunny. NICE!
Pretty secluded bay, but it is starting to be developed, and has a restaurant where I can get wifi! It has been known as Bahia de los Muertos, or "Bay of the Dead" but it has been renamed "Bahia de los Suenos" or Bay of Dreams. I guess the ultra fancy resort built here believes people would rather visit the bay of dreams rather than the dead.
This particular spot has great meaning to us. Five years ago, Marcus and I vacationed in La Paz and came to this bay to go snorkeling. There was a sailboat anchored in this lovely secluded spot, and we talked of being in our own sailboat anchored in that bay, someday. That was one of many seeds that were planted and germinated in this trip to Mexico, and as we sailed into the bay, we were moved at the realization of a dream come full circle. Bay of Dreams indeed.
