Towards Puerto Vallarta Via Isla Isabella

We had to leave Mazatlan to meet Angel’s sister, Anna and Vanessa, Angel’s sister in Puerto Vallarta. We split two overnight sails with a short stay at Isla Isabella and get a few hours of rest.

It’s a wonderful island home to many wildlife with a crater at its center. We had loved to land on it and do some hiking and sightseeing, but due to high winds it was just not safe.

Ocean Crossing To Mazatlan

Spending two days in Cabo San Lucas was enough. Jet skis, cruise ships, para sailors and beach partying was enough and we couldn’t wait to leave Cabo and cross the Sea of Cortes towards Mazatlan.

Wind was on and off and we motored a good portion of the stretch. The sunset was breathtaking and we can across several sea turtles, each in it’s own and alone in the midst of the ocean.

We approached Mazatlan the next day in the evening. It was already dark but fortunately the harbor entrance was clearly marked and we dropped anchor without much hassle.
