We spent two weeks at Marina Costa Baja, just north of La Paz. This is a new marina with excellent facilities, including a nice beach club and good restaurants. The Marina has a free shuttle service to downtown La Paz. I shot the picture above at the beach club, where I spent some pleasant hours editing manuscripts.
We have now been in Mexico nearly six months, and plan to stay through the end of May. So we needed to obtain extensions on our six-month tourist visas. We also needed to obtain a temporary importation permit for the boat. After multiple visits to government offices we managed to complete the necessary paperwork and have avoided (for now) becoming undocumented aliens in this friendly country.
When we first entered the marina, we passed this beautiful wooden schooner, which was tied to the fuel dock. The next morning, the schooner was on the bottom of the harbor--no one was sure what went wrong. After several days of work, divers were able to raise the ship.
Here are some pictures of the malecon in La Paz.
