Potluck on the beach

27 40.763 N, 114 53.258 W

This afternoon there was a Baja Ha-Ha potluck on the beach. Rich fixed a pasta salad for our contribution and we got a panga ride over. We will save the beach landing for Bahia Santa Maria.

On the beach were tents, tables, chairs, beach volleyball, etc. Folks who had caught fish on the way down from San Diego brought it to be barbecued. It was a great chance to socialize with some of the other crews. There was a tug of war between the women and the men which I participated in. A photographer climbed the hill behind and we all posed for a group picture. The one downside was one of the catamaran's was anchor too close to the beach and as the tide went out it went aground, despite the efforts of the captain, several pangas and sailors. We will find out in the morning if the boat is okay. Rich's knee is still sore and as we were leaving the party he was tackled accidentally by one of the ultimate frisbee players and now his foot is swollen.

Tomorrow we are off to Bahia Santa Maria, about 240 nautical miles south.

Adios
