S/V INTREPID II - Cape Dory Intrepid 40

My photo
Intrepid II is a Cape Dory Intrepid 40 sailboat, hull #2, designed by Chuck Paine and discovered by the Captain in Blue Hill Maine in 2006. The crew are Kelly (Captain) and Carol (Admiral and Blogger). In 2009 INTREPID II embarked on her West Coast journey from Victoria to San Francisco, the Baja Sur Peninsula and into the Sea of Cortez. In 2010/2011, we sailed from Guaymas, south to Bahia Banderas and back. In 2011/2012 we left Guaymas, headed south to La Paz, spent three weeks at anchor on our northward journey and rested on the hard in San Carlos. Her 4th, 5th and 6th seasons were Boat Projects related. Season 7 - an incredible amount of boat work - but no cruising. Season 8 - Tropical Storm Sergio toppled Intrepid II in San Carlos dry storage. A disappointing season of serious and costly repairs. Season 9 - continuing those repairs and still hopeful for cruising.

And on to El Truinfo, the once bustling mining town.....

Main street El Triunfo
The Church - wish we'd taken time to go inside

Caffe El Triunfo - closed Mondays - guess what day it was we visited?
Next door - Casa Municipal - closed up tight also - no chance to ask or a Town pin!
Fascinating doorway
Colour and Form - a break from stone and wood
Caffe toting bandito - we could have used some java outselves to warm up
Homeward bound back to La Paz and the sailing life
