Santa Rosalia, Baja

Hotel Francis in Santa Rosalia. Many beautiful photos and log books, so was an interesting place to visit. These old wooden buildings were so unusual. Aug. 1990

August 1990.  Nearly every day during our stay in Santa Rosalia was busy, and those days that weren't full, we spent reading and just staying on the boat.  Weather was hot and humid as usual, but with exception of a couple of the days the weather was settled.  We did spend a couple of nights anchor watching to make sure we stayed put.  Several boats did drag anchor, but we were secure.  About 12 -15 boats at any given time in the marina.  Town was walkable and so we could buy groceries, eat at restaurants and get ice, booze, and soft drinks easily.  The shore palapa was where we all hung out all throughout the day and evening.  Musicians in the group brought their instruments ashore and played.  A small brown and white dog started hanging out at the palapa and we all sort of adopted him.  "Cruiser" was eventually adopted by one of the cruising boats and left Santa Rosalia when they did.
