Keith’s Thoughts on Bahia Falsa, La Paz and Bahia Candeleros/Réflexions de Keith sur Bahia Falsa, La Paz et Bahia Candeleros

In Bahia Falsa, I saw lots of pelicans and entire schools of fish. I saw some pelicans dive in to the water and get fish. At the beach, the water was super shallow. I could swim or wade! I used the new snorkel gear. I went all the way out to where it got deep with the sea scooter.  At the beach, they had a place with awesome hamburgers! 

À Bahia Falsa, j’ai vu beaucoup de pélicans et tout un banc de poissons. J’ai vu des pélicans plonger dans l’eau pour attraper un poisson. À la plage, l’eau n’était pas super profonde. Je pouvais nager ou patauger! J’ai utilisé le nouvel équipement de plongée. J’ai été jusqu’à l’endroit où ça devenait profond avec le scooter sous marin. À la plage, il y avait un restaurant avec de très bons hamburgers. 

In La Paz, we saw baby sharks. We had to walk really far to the grocery store, but we stopped for apple pie along the way.

La Paz to Bahia Candeleros (aka Ensenada Blanca)

Sunday beautiful morning’s sunrise in La Paz

On Sunday morning, our first chore of the day was plan the logistics of moving Kosmos. The ideal time to leave seemed to be 1800 (6:00 pm), when neither the tides nor wind would be too strong against us. We picked an anchorage 18 hours away, which meant we’d pull in around noon, when visibility would be good.

Bahia Falsa to La Paz

On Thursday afternoon, we’d attempted to go to La Paz via the road. Unfortunately, the logistics hadn’t worked out.  

Here are a couple sunrise photos from Friday:

Still wanting to go to La Paz, we started Friday morning off by planning the logistics to take Kosmos. Once we realized that conditions would be more favorable to travel in the early afternoon, we went back to the shallow nook and frolicked in the water some more. Oddly enough, there were less fish and birds than yesterday.

The Ensenada to Bahia Falsa Passage From Keith’s Perspective/Le passage de Ensenada à Bahia Falsa du point de vue de Keith.

On the passage, I got kind of seasick part of the first day. On the second day, I got more adjusted to the ocean. Day three, I got better sea legs. Days four and five were about the same as day 3. I played lots of video games and read lots of books. I mostly ate soup and microwave burritos. My watches were from 10:00 am to noon and 2:00 – 4:00 pm.

Pendant la traversé, j’ai été un peu malade une partie du premier jour. Le deuxième jour, je me suis habitué à l’océan. Le troisième jour, j’ai finalement commencé à avoir le pied marin. Le troisième et le quatrième jour étaient presque pareil que le jour 3. J’ai joué à beaucoup de jeux vidéo et lu beaucoup de livres. J’ai principalement mangé de la soupe et des burritos réchauffés au micro onde. Les tours de garde étaient de 10h à 12h et de 2h à 4h.
