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:

.......and the dinghy parking lot.
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:
This is a view of the "party house" from below:

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.
