Keith’s Perspective on Week 1 of our Cruising Adventure/Le point de vue de Keith sur la première semaine de notre aventure en croisière

This week was really eventful. We started the trip on Sunday December 1, and got to Ensenada on that same day. We were trapped on the boat until Monday because we hadn’t checked in to the country. 

Monday might’ve been my favorite day of the week! We checked in, which took a while. After that, we went to El Rey Sol. It’s a really fancy French restaurant with really good Caesar Salads. I ordered the French Onion Soup and a Fondue Pot, both of which were really good. Mom and dad got beef tenderloin which I got a few bites of, and we all got Caesar Salads. Dad and I also split a fruit tart.

Keith’s Thoughts on Baja/Réflexions de Keith sur Baja

Overall, I like Baja California, Mexico It has it’s good parts and it’s bad parts. It has beautiful scenery (mostly rock formations… most plants we found were cactus or dead). 

Isla Coronados, August 4, 2022

Dans l’ensemble, j’ai aimé Baja California. Mexico a des bons cotés et des moins bons cotés. Il y a de très beaux paysages (plutôt des formations rocheuses…. La plupart des plantes qu’on a trouvé étaient des cactus ou étaient mortes).

As for civilization, La Paz is nice with good food and a beautiful malecon. Loreto is a good town, not too big and too small. Bahia  de Los Angeles is super small, but it is a good town nonetheless. But my favorite town is Santa Rosalia. It has good food, especially pastries, and is cute and small.

Keith’s Perspective on Turtle Bay and the Passage to Ensenada/Le point de vue de Keith sur Turtle Bay et le passage vers EnsenadaKeith’s Perspective on Turtle Bay and the Passage to Ensenada

Turtle Bay is a nice bay. It has a small town, and some restaurants. There was a person who  had a water taxi service and could take us to the town on his boat. But he dropped us off at the pier, which was covered in bird poop! It was disgusting. So we did beach landings when we went to town one our own dinghy.
