Our goal was to move Jellybean north, out of hurricane territory, by June 30. We arrived in Puerto Vallarta, hurriedly purchased some groceries, and headed north on Roy's birthday! We made a brief stop at Chacala (sorry, no photos, will take some next time!) and arrived at Mazatlan on June 17.

Both Jellybean and we enjoyed Marina El Cid. Marina guests are welcome to use the pools and other facilities, as well.

We departed Mazatlan for La Paz with what we thought was a good weather winddow....around midnight we saw lightning all around us, but luckily, not next to us. We spent a few days in La Paz socializing and getting our refrigerator repaired. Again, we are without photos, but promise some on our next trip.

We didn't take time to enjoy the many beautiful anchorages along the way; all the popular anchorages were deserted.

Bahia dos Pilares, at the tip of Bahia Conception, was our last destination before crossing back over the Sea of Cortez to San Carlos. We dropped anchor and since we had some time before dinner hour I washed out two pair of shorts. Roy was so hot that he put his on, wet. A few bees came his way, so he took them off and hung up both his and my shorts on the life lines. He came below where I was preparing dinner, to tell me that both shorts were completely covered with bees and that the scene looked like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. We attempted some photos through our screens, and unfortunately by the time we got the camera out, most of the moisture had been consumed by bees, and there were only a few left! Our friend, Terry Bingham, had a similar experience a few weeks before us. He's renamed the anchorage, "Bahia de Abejas."

We were up before daybreak, made coffee and tea and got underway at sunrise.

We arrived in San Carlos in time for dinner at the Marinaterra restaurant.

We spent several days getting Jellybean ready for dry storage at Marina Seca. She was hauled out on June 29. The next (and last) photos show how boats are stored in dry dock. We were saddened to see Jellybean out of the water, but she needed some work done, and the people at Marina Seca did good work.
