SV/SOMF: Cheri, Lyn, Mike and Dar's trip down

To bring us all up to date now, Jerry’s sister and husband and another couple came down to visit from Colorado June 10th through the 19th. We had a great time; we took the boat up to Las Cocinas for three days. We left the 13th around 9:30am and had a great trip up, trying to fish the whole way, but caught nothing. We arrived in the anchorage around 2:30pm and right away Mike, Jerry, Dar and myself jumped in the water. The water was so clear and warm, you could see all the way down the chain to the anchor. Los Cocinas (The Kitchens) had a small dirt road lead over the hill for hiking and a tiny little fishing camp with about 3 or 4 little shacks. We had a great time snorkeling, swimming and seashell searching. The only thing was there were tons of bees, they were looking for fresh water which they could find coming out of our ice chest. Cheri (Jerry’s sister) did get stung, but luckily not two bad, the rest of us were just annoyed by them. The first night was really rolly, but the next morning Jerry and Lyn put out the stern anchor and the next night was much better. The generator started acting up again not putting out any power, so we did have to start the motor every so often. We left the morning of the 15th and had a great trip back, again not enough wind to sail, and no fish, but till a great trip.

The next day I took Cheri and Dar to the tiengies (open flee market), and el centro to do some gift shopping. This was fun, especially since they are both used to going to Cabo San Luca for vacations. Jerry, Mike and Lyn went out on Margarita five fishing boat that Wednesday also, but again no fish, but not for lack of trying.
We went and had lunch at La Manga in a fish village toward the end of San Carlos, on the way back stopped and had some beers at Soggy Peso Bar.
