La Paz to Puerto Vallarta

We set out early in the morning so that we could to a hike on Isla la Partida, which is part of the national parks of Mexico. We arrived and anchored in a sheltered bay on the north side of the island that afternoon.

After Justin changed the zinc on the propeller, we took the kayak into shore,  intent on doing the hike marked on the national park map.  Trails in Mexico turned out to be a little more rugged than the standard trail in Canada.   So we didn't get as far as we intended.

Are you sure that's the trail?

Well, let's try it!

We left the bay at sunset with just  enough time to swing by the nearby sealion islands and take a look.

We sailed for the next day and a half, getting to Puerto Vallarta quicker than anticipated due to great wind allowing us to do 7 - 8 knots most of the leg.
