La Salina to Ensenada Mexico by Boat - Blog

We have just arrived at our second port-of-call in Mexico. That would be Ensenada. We are staying through tomorrow so I can find someone to teach me how to use a bloody cell phone down here.

Robin had bought me a cell phone from Mexico when she was visiting Hector’s relatives here. I can call the U.S. but no one can call me from the States and when I try to call someone here in Mexico, this nice lady speaks Spanish and from what I can understand, she is telling me that I am a stupid gringo that doesn’t now how to use a phone. After I find the code on how to use the phone, my next goal is to find some Cuban cigars.

The coast line is similar to what we have near Big Sur. It just isn’t as rugged. As we were driving to Ensenada, there where these large rings in the water near the coast. Our driver said they were Tuna farms that the Japanese harvested and shipped back to the mother country. 

Had to motor again. I guess if I was more patient, we could sail but I am not one that wishes to enter a strange port after dark.

The Marina we are in is CruisePort Village Marina which is the first of the four marinas’s as you enter the Harbor. It is a little more expensive ($1.50 a foot), but we made up for it in Salina which was $0.50 a foot. The showers and head are near the boat and they look clean.

Bob and I are going to look for a good place to eat Fish Taco’s and try a few samples of tequila.

There are a number of cruisers here in the marina and as bashful as I am, I hope to meet a number of them before we leave.

One last blog for awhile. We are going dark starting tomorrow evening.

Next port-of-call is an anchorage called Puerto Santo Thomas which is about a six hour cruise from Ensenada. The next stop from there will be Cabo Colonet and then onto San Quintin. No I am not going to prison. The pronunciation is keen-TEEN. There won’t be any places that have an internet café until we reach Turtle Bay. We may hang there a couple of days as we visit the sights.

We have supplied up on Tequila and Cuban cigars and we are ready to go.

Until then, be safe out there.
