Our last night out at Caleta Partida before heading to La Paz gave us our first real taste of the famous coromuel winds that La Paz is known for. Even though the winds were blasting through the cut in the island from the east at almost 20 knots when we dropped our anchor, they shifted a full 180 degrees at about 5 PM. We had prepared for the change by dropping our hook in the SE corner of the bay, so really had no issues as the wind cranked up to the mid to upper teens for most of the night. Along with the wind comes a fairly dramatic cooling as well as the cooler Pacific air is pulled over the Baja and into the Sea of Cortez.
Again, no photos. This was just a quick stop for the night to cut our run into La Paz in half.
