Following our visit with Elaine and JD in April we headed north into the Sea of Cortez. Our plan was to make it as far North as Conception Bay and rendezvous with Mom and Dad (Bert and Alice) aboard Elegante.
Just as we were leaving the Loreto area our AIS indicated that a buddy was close by. Cool Change was in the neighborhood. Rick and Cindy are friends from Sausalito where Shindig called home before we left in 2012. It was great to catch up with old friends and share stories about our Mexican adventures. Rick and Cindy have been doing a lot of inland travel and had a wonderful season on the Mainland.

We keep in contact with Mom and Dad on the ham radio and made plans to meet up at Punta Chivato at the north end of Conception Bay. They were traveling south after enjoying the Bay of Los Angeles for several weeks.
Shells of all types can be found at Punta Chivato. It is an amazing beach to explore.

| Playa Requesón was a new anchorage for us. It is located about 10 miles south of the main anchorages in Conception bay. Beautiful! |
