After a brief stay, hooking up with friends Dennis and Dan (both of whom we met during the year we kayaked for 2.5 months in Baja), we left Marjean, so that she could visit with friends.
We then sailed south to establish ourselves in Puerto Escondido and get ready to kayak with our friends Jill and Bob Stecker from Colorado.
You will see some pics of Punta Pulpito. (This is a point halfway, and our anchorage for one night) Jill and Bob had been in Puerto Escondido a day ahead of us, so we had timed our arrival rather well. We even had a greeter and escort, Elvin of Western Sea, and commodore of the Hidden Port yacht club. He led us to our mooring buoy and even offered to take care of Kitty Kira while we were gone.
Working for 3 months on Batwing, had captured our attention so thoroughly that we had to shift gears to get into expedition mode. 
We searched for our kayaking gear, spent a few days getting organized, paddling a bit to get loosened up and ready for 10 mile per day activity. Ron and I were terribly out of shape from being in the boatyard for so long, we hoped it was not going to be too hard on us to paddle day after day this distance. As you will see by these pictures, we saw incredible scenery and geological features. The weather was beautiful, only one day where the wind blew us off the water, we were blessed. And yes, we completed the circumnavigation of Islas Carmen, and Danzante.
We had lots of fun!

Hello there, I just found your site after falling in love with junks over the last few days. You guys have really been inspiring to read. :)
Can you recommend books/websites for me to learn more about using the junk rig?
Dreaming,
Casey
