West 109° 41.750’
Distance: 7.41 miles

We paddled 7.41 miles today. We took an easy day and crossed the 600 miles from San Felipe line today. We woke up on the beach under the palapa at the hotel in Punta Pescadero. We got up early and packed the boats because we knew the hotel guests would soon be coming down to the beach. I went up to the hotel bathroom and shaved the five days of beard off my face, then went and met Mike for breakfast. I ate at least a plate of fruit and drank four glasses of their good orange juice. The hotel guests were all interested in our trip so we showed them our map and hung around the pool all morning. After a few miles Mike got sunscreen in his eyes, so we went to shore to clean it out. A nice lady named Julie asked us if we needed help. We asked her for water and she filled us up and fed us each a couple beers. Then we went down to Los Barriles and landed in front of Nolan’s house. We stopped at Kevin and Betsy’s house, but they weren’t home. We left them a note saying we had been by, and then continued to downtown Los Barriles. We got carne tacos, used the internet, had a couple more beers, played pool, and just relaxed for a couple hours. I called Gail and Mom, but got no answer. Then I called Heidi and got to talk to her while she was walking Sumatra, so that was a treat. Tomorrow is shopping, laundry, and maybe a big paddling day.
