Ophelia Offshore

Isla San Francisco

A happy man, standing on the tallest thing in sight

Landing in a new anchorage is like a child arriving to a new playground – so many new cool things to check out – What’s under the water? Any fish to spear? Is there a trail to that peak? A cave to explore? Always something new.

Isla San Francisco provided an empty anchorage, peaks to climb, and slat flats – a new one for us. This was a quick one-night stop over for us, but a very cool one.

After our one night stay at Isa San Francisco we headed back towards La Paz. As we passed Isla Espiritu we saw our friends on Metanoia were in an anchorage and decided to stop by for the night and say hello. They invited us over for drinks and we got one last good hang out before the marina work of La Paz was to start.

    Super cool! So glad you are updating the tail end of the Baja journey as your Mom and I are enjoying your writing and photos immensely! We recall being on some salt flats in Baja and also one of your first “mountain bike” opportunities was on a salt flat from the dry lake bed in the Alvord Desert of South Eastern Oregon…
