San Carlos, Mexico

We also took a drive without the tin can to San Carlos, a beautiful town on the Sea of Cortez about a 6 hour drive straight down from Tucson through Sonora, MExico.    There's a lively cruising community here with a marina, haul out and a very nice anchorage.    This is one of the places we have put on our "possibility to retire here" list when we get finished with cruising.   Who knows when that will be.   The terrain is awesome with desert mountains behind the town,  hidden canyons to find and explore, on the sea with sparkling blue water and great diving/snorkeling spots.   Not to mention the wonderful Mexico culture, food and people.
