The other, calmer Cabo
It was a 4 hour motor up to Cabo San Jose, and it was awesome. We saw 8 whales breaching and slapping their tails and playing. It was incredible.
Once in the marina, Dave and Christy picked us up and took us to their house for dinner. We met them two nights earlier when they complimented the mullet and ended up chatting all night. They’re working remote due to Covid and decided to move to Mexico. We had a great dinner and super fun evening.
The next afternoon we walked the half hour into town to explore. We wandered, shopped and made friends with the tequila tasting bartenders, (they were selling the cheapest beer in town to lure people in).
When we were getting ready to walk back, we decided some elote would make the walk better, but didn’t have any small bills and he couldn’t make change. So we went to a nearby restaurant for change. Then the night took a turn. We met a group of 5 women on a girls trip from Nashville, who loved the sailing story. They took us in and invited us to dinner with them, their treat. As soon as we sat down it was go time! They ordered a feast of the chef’s choosing, hired the band to play at our table all night, ordered round after round of double margs, and started dancing. 5 hours later, we got our corn and walked home.
In the excitement We also made friends with a couple from Seattle who are considering becoming liveaboards. He came over the next morning to see our boat and ask questions. We didn’t make it far into the questioning when we got a text from our friend Julio. Julio is a yacht captain we met while clearing customs in Ensenada. He is permanently based in this marina on his boss’ boat and invited us all over for a tour and drinks.
So we spent the afternoon lounging on a yacht drinking beers, and making friends. What a wild 24 hours.
