Bahia Agua Verde!

Thursday November 18th


Well we made it to the beautiful anchorage of Bahia Agua Verde in about 4 hours we had a great motor down on Sunday the 11th. There was not a lot of wind so we did not try to put our sails up and focused more on fishing. We caught and released another small female Dorado and lost what I think might have been a male dorado..oh well. Agua Verde really means beautiful green water, and also has spectacular surroundings. When we pulled into the anchorage it was just SV Escape and us. Later that afternoon SV No Problem pulled in along with Motor Yacht Eliana, which by the way is going to be the next boat that Jerry and I cruise on.

While are time there I went snorkeling with Becky and Kelly, all four of us walked through the small little fishing village and stopped at two of the small tienda’s, in town there is also two churches and a little school.

As always we had some awesome dinners, one in particular were some Chocolate clams that were steamed then cut up with potatoes, onions, cheese, bell peppers, and them wrapped in tin foil and grilled…Yum Oh. Jerry and I had these in Bahia Concepcion with Dan and Kate, and I have to say Becky did a really good job. We had many other great nights of drinking and eating; Hogfish and Snapper that Kelly speared were also some good eats. On Wednesday Miro and Dasha, who were from the Czech Republic that were living a great live of traveling in their van and just living their dream, took Jerry, myself, Kelly, Becky, and another lady off of SV No Problem along wish Skeeter of course up to see the cave paintings found from previous inhabitants.

Jerry and I had a toss up whether to go back up to Puerto Escondido with SV Escape to go watch the Baja 1000 races in Loreto or to just keep heading south. After much thought, because I am sure the races were a blast, we decided to keep heading south since that was our plan and goal all along. We still want to be in La Paz by Thanksgiving, and now Jerry found out that he will be flying back to Stockton in early December because his son is getting married. Congratulations Jeff and Jen!!
