Sights of La Paz

Our friend Jim Thompson – a friend of Bryce’s from his aerial survey days and fellow sailor – joined us in La Paz on April 11th.  After a brief visit we set off for a seven day sail among the islands near La Paz, which we'll blog about soon.  We returned after that trip to La Paz, where we are now decommissioning Abracadabra for the summer.  We'll also blog (aka complain) about the decommissioning process and blog (aka brag/warn you) about our plans for the summer.  In the meantime, here are some sights of La Paz, many of which Jim captured and shared with us - others are courtesy of Abracadabra's official photographer, Captain Bryce.
