Bryan Joins us in LaPaz

We welcomed Bryan to Magic on Sunday. It was a long day for all of us -- but he escaped a wet, stormy weekend that capped off winter quarter finals. Bryan was suitably impressed with the boat and how different she is from Silhouette. We ate at a few familiar LaPaz places; had some long time cruiser friends for dinner (who remember Bryan as a little boy!); and walked the malecon. Enjoyed an afternoon ice cream cone at the polka dot tree creamery.

Today we were leaving LaPaz and heading north but the weather threw us a norther -- so we left and tucked into a nearby anchorage called Caleta Lobos. We were escorted out the LaPaz channel by 20+ dolphins who were riding both bow waves, spinning and jumping ahead of the boat. All of us stood on the foredeck just screaming with delight. It was incredible to watch them just playing and having fun ahead of us.

Bryan spent the afternoon dinghy sailing. Plenty of wind to get around the anchorage today!

We hope to head north tomorrow....
