We finally left La Cruz<\/a> so we could start heading up into the Sea of Cortez, but not so fast. We wanted to revisit some of the places we’d been before on our little journey – places like Chacala and San Blas, and, in particular, one place we missed – Isla Isabela<\/a>, which is not technically ON the mainland, but a gorgeous island just off the coast that supports an unimaginable number of birds. And we stopped in Mazatl\u00e1n so we could take care of business<\/a> – repairs, provisioning, and of course, laundry.<\/p>\n

This time through, we took a hike up to a crater in Chacala, and tromped around town in San Blas. Last time in San Blas, we got lucky and were only marginally eaten by the jejenes (no-see-ums). This time we weren’t so lucky. We got chowed. Poor Ry. I think he was worse off than Jody. Ugh!<\/p>\n
