These are the voyages of the Cal 2-46 Iron Rose, owned by Don and Linda Anderson. Currently in Mexico, and we are planning to head further south later this year.

Ensenad Grande
Apparently we did not take photos at Evaristo, which after our first less than pleasant anchoring attempt, turned out to be a good choice with the first cove all to ourselves. We departed the next morning for Ensenada Grande on Espiritu Santu, sadly our last anchorage before heading into a marina at La Paz. We have both enjoyed being on the hook as you can tell from the first photo. We had another great sunset, and even though a corumwel (southwesterly wind) blew into the anchorage, we seemed to have the best spot and spent a calm night. We visited the crew on Angel after exploring ashore. Baja Adventures maintains a camp here for the tourist who sleep in tents ashore and kayak around the islands. We hosted Christian and Rick of Angel for cocktails. Angel is a Cheoy Lee 48 yawl, which the owner sails as much as possible. Christian is Swiss and spends the summer house sitting in the Pacific Baja town of San Juanico (not the anchorage on the east coast) for the owner of Angel. In anticipation of leaving the boat in La Paz, Linda gave them a lot of the stuff in our freezer. On the way in to La Paz the next day, I caught a couple of bonita on the lure I made in the fishing seminar at Loreto Fest. They seemed to prefer it to the lures I purchased.
Iron Rose is a Cal 2-46, first launched in October of 1973. Linda and I purchased her in May of 1999, and have cruised her in Mexico for several years. I am a retired real estate lawyer and Linda is a social worker (who never worked) When not cruising we live at our home in Prescott, Arizona.
