Vagari's Cruise

Welcome to Vagari’s 7th winter of sailing. We have put 8,000 miles under Vagari’s keel during those cruises but this year like last year won’t be a high mileage year. We just don’t have the lust for the long cruises that we did when we started cruising but we still enjoy living on board and sailing near our homeport. Welcome aboard! We hope you enjoy our blog. Your comments, questions and suggestions are appreciated and encouraged.

Ghost Town and Copper Bay Anchorage

From Loreto we visited an abandon village on the east side of Carman Island and some new anchorages.

The village was a "company town" that supported commercial sea saltpans. The processed that raw salt, shipping finished product in large bags. Sometime between the 50's and the 70's depending on whom you talk to the owners shut down the saltpans and abandon the village. My pure guess is that economical refrigeration sealed the fate for the operation.

We have lots of neat photos of the village and some good shots of Isla Carman. I will post them ASAP.

We are in a picturesque anchorage that is new to us and plan to try another new anchorage tomorrow.

Via radio Tuesday evening.
