Quijote is in Cabo! Cabo San Lucas is everything they say: hot and touristy are at the top of my list. The marina is noisy and crowded. It's loaded with huge boats filled with tourists and playing base thumping music across the harbor. Add to that the hundred or so Haha boats shoe-horned in and you have the recipe for a unique experience. We're on the end of a four boat raft all tied to one spot on the dock. That means we have to walk across three other boats to get off ours. It's certainly not optimal, but it is nice to have shelter from a storm coming through.
The up-side to this tourist centric location is that English is spoken most places and contrary to its reputation, it not all that expensive, at least by Seattle's standards.
The tropical depression that's been predicted for several day is finally in full swing. The winds have so far been moderate, but heavy rainfall rolls in every few hours, making it impossible to venture off the boat without getting soaked. We were caught out in it last night on our way back to the boat after dinner.
Thankfully the storm should dissipate by tomorrow morning, so we'll
depart and make our way up to La Paz. We'll arrive on time to make our flights, but won't be anchoring along the way as planned. Maybe we can hit a couple of those anchorages on our return trip south from La Paz to Puerta Vallarta in March.
Kay flew out yesterday, so it will just the three of us for this last bit. Then Kevin will leave us, perhaps for good, and Petar and I will fly to our respective homes for the holidays until mid-January.
This has been more time than we expected or wanted in Cabo, but we'll be on our way shortly. It's all good.
