San Juanico -

where we stayed for ten days with

perfect weather (cool nights, light breeze, warm days and warm water).

We arrived a couple of days before the annual Shipwreck Party so there were

quite a few boats in the bay already. The first night we anchored on the south side 

because of the predicted south wind.

After we moved to the north side Jim went to

the rescue twice. One panga had a dead battery and

the other one had something wrong with the lower

end of their outboard. After towing them both

ashore and loaning them tools they rewarded us with

a very nice Cabrilla:

We had poached fillets two nights and then some

REALLY GOOD Ceviche (the farm just happened

to have some tomatoes and cilantro).

The Shipwreck Party started off on the beach where

everyone (campers and cruisers) crowded into

the back of a truck for a ride up to the house:

 The next day there was a potluck on the beach

with a pig roast:

After the party a lot of boats left and the bay got

very quiet and peaceful:

Every evening this Osprey perched on top of this particular cactus

near the island where we were anchored. This 

evening he had a needle fish he was eating:

Our last night at anchor (in Bahia San Carlos):

We are now at the dock getting Loomba-Loomba ready to
store for the summer. We haul out on June 1, and will slowly
make our way home.
