Los Muertes to La Paz

Up at 3am again and the same story with the light winds.



It was easy motorsailing all the way to the San Lorenzo channel.



The channel did prove a bit more challenging though. There are shallow areas or reefs on both side of this channel that normally has some navigational lights to mark them. Unfortuately they were no longer there when I passed through. There were some moments of concern as I was transiting the channel and the depth got uncomfotably shallow. Thankfully I could travel really slowly and watch the depth guage at the same time.

As you approach La Paz things get much more industrial. There is a large commercial harbour just North of La Paz which is where the Ferry and the tankers go to dock.

La Paz also has a very long entrace channel. (about 3 miles) of course I arrived on an outgoing tide so I had to do the whole thing against a 1 1/2 knot current.



Finally I was here.
