San Jose del Cabo

SOOOOOOOOO happy to have gotten out of Cabo!!! We've been in San Jose del Cabo for only a few days, but we love it already. Quiet, friendly, beautiful and real. Now that we've settled down, we realize the toll that the stress, noise and hyperactivity of Cabo have taken on all of us. Much fewer ticks now. The locals here refer to Cabo San Lucas as Cabo San Lucifer. Very apropo. Our counsel to all is “Skip Cabo, go straight to San Jose del Cabo.”

The 17-mile passage was a bit of a bash for the first two or three hours, but things settled down as we got closer. The harbor entrance was tiny, perhaps 75 to 100 feet between rock jetties. A bit tense when you're being knocked around by a heavy swell. Unfortunately, along the way, Steve was fiddling with the radar when it went out. I was pretty bummed for several days as it is only 11 months old and has only 32 hours of transmit time. Today I was able to get it going again. Diagnostic, cleaning the connections and re-tuning did it. Whew! What a relief! We had to raft up next to another boat the first night, but the second night we had our own side tie at the dock. We've been enjoying exploring, eating (already have a favorite local place), and swimming. Did I mention it's hot? Well, it's HOT!
