Bahia de Tortugas

If we hit Ensenada on a day that was unusually crowded, we hit Turtle Bay on a day that was unusually windy. A wind storm howled in from the east, raising dust and causing the half dozen cruising boats (including us) to check anchor lines and set anchor alarms. Even the local fishing boats didn't go out--a sure sign to stay put. 

So stay put we did. We didn't try to launch the dinghy and go ashore; instead, we spent the day catching up on missed rest, accomplishing a few minor boat projects, and appreciating the village and its desert setting from afar.
