Boat Ride!!!

IMG_0676
Our boat left at 3 for a six hour trip across the Sea of Cortez. We enjoyed the scenery until we were plain bored and went inside for beers with a bunch of Mexican truck drivers, which made up the majority of the boat's passengers. Find the Suburban!!

They pack a TON of lorries on these ships...

We had no idea where we were getting off the ship in the dark, and still don't have a guidebook to help us out, so after driving to and around Los Mochis from the port town of Topolobampo, we headed south towards Cuilican and Mazatlan on the foggy MEX15. By around 11:30 we were too tired and it was too foggy to drive, so we pulled off at a well lit Pemex gas station and went to sleep. Apparently, sometime in the middle of the night, the police came and told us to get out of there. I slept right through it and Alex simply ignored them, and they left! Nice to know!
Gas stations next to freeways are loud, so we woke up and drove 3 hours to Mazatlan

Just not the same:

The search for a guidebook in Ingles is on. More updates from the mainland on the way, but we're here, safe, and ready to kick some ass.
Hope all is well back home, send some rain!
