We did it! We actually left the yard; left the fuel dock; left Guaymas Harbor and made it all the way to Bahia Catalina! This small, 3 lobe anchorage is about an hour from the harbor tucked near Cabo Haro. The wind funnels a bit off the hill sides but the bottom is sand so great holding.
We motored slowly to put the engines to a test.
The scenery was typical Baja: blue sky; blue water; sea birds; small islands; cactus and small shrubs; shrimpers; pangeros day fishing.
After dropping the hook, we both collapsed in the salon and took naps. Several weeks of hard work and suddenly there was (by agreement) not boat work to be done. We relaxed and enjoyed the quiet.
We motored back slowly on Sunday and anchored off the marina. A great maiden voyage -- and we found the port engine still needs some work. That is happening now and we are watching for a weather window to head south maybe this weekend.
