Good Friday in Loreto

This morning dawned overcast and without wind, so we pulled up anchor at Isla Coronado and motored the six miles to anchor off Loreto. This small city was extra quiet as we walked to the supermarket. After all, it is Semana Santa, the long Easter holiday that brings all business (except tourism) to a halt. But when we emerged from our provisioning, we were in the middle of a parade celebrating Good Friday, complete with the cross, the Christ, and the Roman Centurions.

Now we are picking up the anchor to head back to La Paz. Adios, Loreto, don't know when we will see you again.
