Loreto fest

Loreto Fest is a multi day event of games, seminars, music, food and all around fun, sponsored by Hidden Port Yacht Club (of which we are now members). There are horseshoe, bocci ball contests, seminars on fishing, cruising and cooking, and music and pot lucks. We had a great time with our old friends Jim and Chris (shown with Linda in 3d photo) and several new ones we made during our 2 week stay in Escondido. We renewed our aquaintance with Wickenburg cat sailors Helen and Ralph of Moon Drifter. We also met some new ones from Phoenix who had charted a Moorings boat out of La Paz. I helped erect the tents before the start of Loreto Fest. Chris is British
so they checked into a nearby hotel to watch the Royal Wedding. I tried swimming laps in the roof top pool that is a feature of all the Singular marinas. It was so shallow my hands hit the bottom. I went back to swimming to shore and back. The last day of the fest the wind blew 33 knots and higher. I went ashore on the shore boat for a fishing seminar, but the pot luck was cancelled due to the high winds, no one wanted to be off their boats! We had signed up for a day long trip to the old mission San Javier along with Jim and Chris and Ralph and Helen, but cancelled due to the high winds and our scheduled departure. We had a great last dinner ashore with everyone before heading south
