2003 La Paz to Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico |
|
| In late December 2003 we made the 400 mile
passage from La Paz to Nuevo Vallarta (Banderas Bay). (Map
of route.) We made one stop of about 12 hours along the way at
Isla Isabela, a small island known for its bird population. From
there we headed on to Nuevo Vallarta where we stayed in the lap of luxury
at Paradise Village Marina. Photos Archived: The high resolution photos originally linked to the thumbnails on this page have been archived to save space on our webserver. If you wish to view the full size version of any of these images please email us with a request. |

 Rounding
the South side of Isabela and looking into the main anchorage and small
settlement. |
 The
two rock spires on the East side brought to mind a crouching griffin and
the back of a giant stone hawk. |
 Clouds
of birds flew constantly over the island and nearby waters. Because
of the very low tides the beach was protected by a rocky reef making
landing difficult indeed. |

carolers made it as far as the "topete" at the end of "E" dock in Paradise
Village. |
