Puerto Escondido

lovely sunrise from San Juanico

After we left San Juanico around 8:30am on Tuesday we arrived in Puerto Escondido 3:30pm.  It was an nice easy 38 nm motorsail south with the winds picking up to 12 knots in the afternoon.  As always we fished all the way but nothing, not even a bite.  When we arrived SV Akupara had already been moored for 2 hours, and we followed SV Escape into the anchorage.  After having Dan help us with the mooring ball, Jerry went to shore to pay and to get the internet code, and I kayaked over to SV Escape to start cocktail hour with Becky.  Kelly and Becky invited us and Dan and Kate over for fish dinner, it was the sierra that he speared back in San Juanico, and boy was it yummy.  There was some big news of the night, the night before Dan proposed to Kate, and she said yes...so congrats guys. 

Puerto Escondido Anchorage and Mooring Field

dingy ride back from shore

Today Jerry, Skeeter and I went to shore to meet Dan and walk up to the little store 1 mile up the road to get some provisions.  It is a beautiful anchorage, protected from most all wind directions which is good because we heard on the net this morning that there might be some heavy winds comming in the next couple of days.  So we are not sure how long we will be here, but we are enjoying every minute of it.
