Back in La Paz

We ended up back in Marina Palmira with Black Dragon and some of the other boats we have seen along the way. The stay here was pretty uneventful except for my one day shopping excursion with Tracey. We ended up finding a place to have our hair colored. After four months I definitely needed it. I can tell you first hand it is really an adventure trying to explain to someone what color hair you want when your Spanish is not great and the person listening does not speak English. In the end it all worked out and my family much appreciated that I no longer looked like Grannie.

We did one more trip to tour La Paz and then we started getting ready to head north.

We had to say good-bye to Black Dragon as they were meeting friends and staying in La Paz longer than we wanted to. We reprovisioned and after meeting up again with the Pond family from Qualchan and the folks on RockStar for a quick dinner at Bandidtos - we left La Paz on March 30, 2010 bound for our northward trek into the Sea. We headed out at the same time as our friends on Qualchan. They were heading out for a one night stay up the coast before heading back into La Paz to reprovision. We got some great shots of them sailing as we were both heading north.
