Lyra is currently in north Baja Mexico, she needs to be hauled out for a centerboard inspection and to get the bottom painted in addition of several other maintenance jobs. Once this work is completed Lyra is headed, in no hurry, south to the Sea of Cortez. We are very much looking forward to exploring the Sea of Cortez or as Jacques Cousteau once called it, “The World’s Aquarium”. Steinbeck also wrote about his adventures there in the book, The Log from the Sea of Cortez.
