So, little tip when booking a Mexican cargo ship. Do not trust the time estimates. 14 hours has come and gone and we are looking at more like 24 to 28 hours on board.
We had rough seas last night as there are no provisions for stabilizers on cargo ships. At times we probably made 15 to 20 degrees side to side. At least I don’t get sea sick. A few folks did… We are in a nice-ish room with seats for passengers and a lot of pirated movies in Spanish. I really preferred The A Team in it’s original English. After the time we and the truck drivers with cargo in this ship the room has it’s own distinguished odor.
This puts us behind schedule again. Way behind.
We are still on the ship but can now see land and have cellular signal once again.
Baja is beautiful! Can’t wait to get Linda down here some day!
So the current “plan” is:
Saturday – La Paz to Loreto
Sunday – Loreto to Bahia de Los Angeles
Monday – Bahia de Los Angeles to Tijuana
However, given that the ship was late, we may not be able to get to Loreto tonight. We shall see!
What could possibly go wrong?
10:38pm – Made it to La Mission Hotel on the ocean in Loreto. Time for a couple of drinks!
See that bartender? Yeah him… He is a thief!!! I was tired and left my credit card on the bar. He took it and used it a couple of times before I realized it was missing when attempting to purchase fuel the next morning. All fixed now.
