Sunrise on Friday (November 25). It was still super windy and the port captain for Bahia de La Paz was still not allowing boats to leave. In this photo, you can actually see the swell. Since this anchorage was protected from the wind, this was “wrap around” swell. Needless to say, it was an uncomfortable morning aboard Kosmos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that Eric had bought at the boat store on Wednesday <\/a>was bigger swivels for the paravanes. Eric had realized that the working load on the flopper stoppers swivels weren’t high enough and needed to be upgraded. Before deploying the flopper stoppers, Eric removed the swivels from the paravanes and put them on the flopper stoppers (the swivels that were on the paravanes were significantly larger than the ones that had been on the flopper stoppers). He’ll put the newly purchased swivels on the paravanes another day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we went to shore today, the tide was even higher than it had been on Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our way into town, we stopped by Marina Costa Baja’s marina office. The marina office, fuel dock and boat yard were disconnected from the rest of the marina\/hotel complex. It had a separate entrance about a mile north of the entrance to the marina\/hotel. To get from the fuel dock to the hotel\/marina, one had to walk on the a dirt road that paralleled the highway or take a dinghy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Keith had been so disappointed in his meal yesterday<\/a>, we promised to get him a hamburger today. We asked the marina office if Costa Baja served burgers. She said that only the breakfast cafe was open now, that the places that served lunch didn’t open until 1400 (2:00 pm). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drove to a burger place on the malecon<\/a> in La Paz that we’d seen yesterday. It was now 11:30, and we were surprised that it wasn’t open yet. We did a search on a Map app on the phone for nearby burger places. Only one was open. It called The Melt and was located just a few blocks west of the malecon, near the historic church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we arrived, we were told that they were only serving breakfast; lunch didn’t start until 1400. We realized a burger wasn’t going to happen, so we had another breakfast, instead. Eric ordered Eggs Benedict, which was served with birria meat<\/a> and a chipotle hollandaise sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keith’s breakfast burrito was giant. They had cut it in half for him, this is only one of the halves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After Second Breakfast (or maybe technically Elevensies?), we walked down to the malecon to play tourist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the central plaza area on the malecon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking east. You can see the white caps in the bay. Keep in mind that this bay is very protected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith loved this statue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped here for ice cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
