Agua Verde.........again!

The weather was better this time and we stayed two weeks.
Many days we hiked up this road from the north anchorage to the village
and then back on the beach when the tide was low - 3.5 miles.





 This is the first house you come to as you come down the hill to the village:

The main roads in the village have been graded and are lined
 with painted white rocks and tree trunks.

 There are two churches. This is the Evangelical church:
This is the Catholic church:
 The panga repair shop:
 A speed limit sign:
 This house either belongs to a very large family or
they take in laundry:
 In the course of our two week visit we met many campers on the beach.
We are usually not here in the middle of winter so it was fun to talk to some
campers and see the variety of rigs.  Apparently Agua Verde is now on the iOverlander app!
Agua Verde village and beach is 40km from the highway on a pretty rough road.

We saw everything from tents to this rig:
This is another hike - heading up the hill from the anchorage to the northeast:

Lola is José's puppy(they live at the head of the bay of the north anchorage).
She likes to join people on their hikes behind their house.
This is a first for us. A fairly large power boat pulled
into the anchorage and promptly set up a tripod with a
satellite dish and solar panels:

The Agua Verde store now has satellite wifi (not secure) for 30P/hour.
We had a small, but fun potluck on the beach with the other cruisers and José.

Full moon rising over the bay:

Mexico Ferry Travel: Getting from Guaymas to Baja and Back

Since our car was in Puerto Escondido in Baja and we and Loomba-Loomba were in San Carlos on the mainland, we decided to make an adventure out of getting the car over to the mainland and do a Copper Canyon trip on the way back to Guaymas. This involved two different ferry trips, a bus, lots of driving, and a train. Ferry travel is not cheap or easy in Mexico.  We arrived at the 8PM ferry  (Guaymas – Santa Rosalia) on Saturday May 27 th at 6PM, as required.  There had been some pretty strong northerlies for a few days and the ferry isn’t very big so we asked if it was definitely going to sail. They said yes so our friend, Ray, who had given us a ride from San Carlos, left.  At 7:45 they decided the weather was too bad to go – next ferry would be Monday (maybe). We took a taxi back to the boat and decided to wait until Tuesday the 29 th . This time we had Ray ( who speaks fluent Spanish) call and make a reservation in a cabin for us for Tuesday. ...

Friday morning we awoke to a Tsunami warning on the SSB net and from a fisherman driving by in his Panga who told us to turn the VHF to Channel 16 to get a message from the Capitan de Puerto. Essentially the Port Captain told us that all the Mexican ports ...
