Santa Rosalia to Playa Santispac in Bahia Concepcion
We left for Bahia Concepcion at 0815 on Wednesday, October 12 . The trip took 8.5 hours. The seas were mostly calm and it was a smooth ride.
We are pleased to report that we rolled up 40,0000 miles on this passage! Eric has been onboard for every mile. Christi has been onboard the vast majority of the miles. There were only two major trips that Christi has missed: in 2006, when Eric took Kosmos to Ensenada while Christi drove down in the car and in 2017, when we took Kosmos up to San Francisco Bay for the second time (life was busy for us then and we didn’t have time to blog).
Bahia Concepcion was a large bay with several anchorages, and each anchorage was better in some weather conditions than others. Eric was having a hard time choosing which anchorage to go to because the weather forecast indicated that the wind direction would change often and drastically. No matter where we went, there would be periods of discomfort (unless we constantly moved, which wasn’t going to happen). In the end, he settled on Playa Santispac for a couple of reasons: 1. It offered good protection for the majority of the time and 2. There were a couple of restaurants.

Full moon about to set behind this house on the morning of Monday, October 10
Followed by the sunrise
Monday was our usual routine: chores in the morning and a trip to downtown in the afternoon to run some errands and have a late lunch in restaurant.
Eric had equalized the batteries overnight. He started the process right before we went to bed. Then he set an alarm for the middle of the night so he could keep up the process for the recommended 8 hours. In the morning, he changed the primary fuel filter (Racor filter) on the tank that had already finished filtering and started filtering the other tank.

Friday, October 7, continued… After the museum, we headed back to Kosmos. We noticed that most of the piles of mud were gone, and realized that we hadn’t seen the soldiers in a few days.
In the late afternoon, it rained. There was a stunning double rainbow.
Second Trip to Santa Rosalia, Day 8
On Friday (October 7), we had lunch at Los Compadres. Just like last time, Eric ordered their signature lamb tacos. It was tender, shredded meat cooked in spices and served in tortillas. Christi and Keith ordered carne asada tacos, which was tender, shredded steak cooked with just salt and served in tortillas. The tacos were served with platters of accoutrements. Both the tacos and platters looked much the same as we had at La Huastica.
We’d found out that the museum was in a beautiful building that looked like an old plantation, which was on the street above the street that the grocery store was on.
