We went into the large city of Guaymas for lunch at a hotel that was built in 1935 and still operates today. Rhea and I have just finished a book written by an anthropologist who lived in Guaymas in 1970 with the poor and this hotel was a part of the book. The book is a novel but with an anthropology twist (The Guaymas Chronicles by David E. Stuart). It’s a good read.
Do You See The Cross On The Left Side
I photographed that cross when we climbed the other side of this mountain.
Looking Up The Coast
The most distant point (looks like a big rock) is the north side of San Pedro Bay.

Wing and Wing Sail Configuration
On the way to San Pedro Bay. The dark curved line on the big sail is a batten which helps the sail keep its shape but is up against one of the wires that supports the mast therefore the curve. Note the three dark areas next to the mast on the big sail. These are places (reef points) where can pull the sail down when it’s too windy. This sail has three reef points. The same type of dark areas on the outside of the sail are where the back of the sail is reefed down. The third area is above the two you can see. We used two reefs on our attempted crossing.

Hike To The End Of The Road
My hiking friend picked a lot of latitude and longitude waypoints from Google Earth to get us to the end of the road. They were dead on so we ended up as far north on the coast as this road went. Very Cool For Sailors.
