Sunday November 21st
Well after a very rolly night of the swells hitting us right on the beam Friday night, we again decided to pull up anchor and leave Isla San Francisco without going to shore for day two. We were disappointed that we were not able to go and explore the Island; we have heard that it had many outstanding hiking trail.

| Caleta Partida Anchorage |
Oh well it was off to Caleta Partida which is an anchorage on Isla Partida 28nm. It was a great motor down, we did not put up the sails due to it being only 4 hours down and with the wind in front of us it would have been a lot of work. This is another one part of the Natural Marine Park system and I was not sure if Skeeter could go to shore, so we enjoyed a nice calm evening on the back of the boat having pork chops and watching Chuck while we were making water. About 10pm the wind started to pick up and so did the swells. We were getting swells from the bow and from the beam, oh yeah we were bobby horsing and rolling from side to side. So in Los Gatos we were rolling from side to side and in Isla San Francisco we were getting hit head on, and now in Partida we were getting hit by both. We were both ready to pull anchor and head 21 nm to La Paz. What we thought was going to be a rough ride because the wind was about 20 knots from the west-southwest ended up being a very calm and enjoyable trip.

We are anchored now, and I am going to take Skeeter into shore, since he has been such a good boy without being to land in 3 and half days.

| Can we go to shore yet? |
