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.

Here and there in Guaymas and San Carlos

Metal sun plaque at Hotel Armida - a great place for brunch
















Metal cross at Panchito Villas (in the bano!)

A talevera designed wash basin - very colourful

The junior school drum and bugle corps - who often practice on the malecon in the evening

Looking out to the anchorage from the marina office




INTREPID II - the last sailboat on the dock - somewhat dwarfed by the Hatteras yacht next to us! This zoomed photo shows how close we are to the centre of the city and the malecon
 
La Choperia - the source of many of our sleep deprived nights - up on the second level of the marina complex -booming music until 3 am - way past cruisers midnight!


A new find - Moy - a bulk food store - the only source of peanut oil we know of - we hope to attempt making our own peanut butter with the handy-dandy Magic Bullet
