Land life and boat life each have their pros and cons. La vie sur terre et la vie sur mer ont des pour et contre. 

In the boat, it’s fun to be able to go to an anchorage or relocate whenever you want. But the boat has limited space. Unless you are in a marina, you have to get in the dinghy, then zoom over to the nearest good place to land. 

Sur le bateau, c’est amusant d’aller à un ancrage et de se relocaliser quand tu veux. Mais le bateau a un espace limité. Sauf si tu es dans une Marina, sinon tu dois prendre le canot pour aller sur le meilleur endroit le plus proche sur terre.

Caleta Partida is nice. It has some really shallow parts… The anchorage is made of two islands! There is a mud flat. It’s stinky and when walking with shoes, the shoes get swallowed up by the mud. There were no cruiser kids.

Playa Pichilingue is nice. There is a beach with two restaurants and a road to La Paz. There is also a dock, but it is broken. The tide swings were so huge that at high tide the water went up to my waist at the broken end of the dock, but Dad carried me.

Playa Pichilingue est bien. Il y a une plage avec deux restaurants et une route pour La Paz. Il y a aussi un ponton, mais il est cassé. Les marées étaient tellement grosse qu’à marée haute l’eau montait jusqu’à ma taille à la fin du ponton, et papa a dû me porter.

I loved Isla Espirtu Santo!!! It is awesome! There is a great hike. It has a bunch of rocks; I had to jump from one to another!

J’ai aimé Isla Espiritu Santo!!! C’était merveilleux! Il y avait une très belle balade qui avait beaucoup de rochers. J’ai dû sauter de rochers en rochers.

I disliked Isla San Francisco. There were a bunch of bugs! They went for our faces! The bugs were everywhere; on land and on the boat. We went on a hike, but it was horrible because the bugs attacked us! The anchorage was very lumpy! That’s the reason we never went swimming! There was also a full lunar eclipse. Mom tells me it’s very rare! It looked cool enough. Though, I wasn’t ready to wake up!
