24/2011 San Evaristo to Bahia Agua Verde




I was up at four am this morning. No, not by choice, but because I couldn’t sleep. Don’t ask why, or I’ll have to tell you about all my aches and pains. Which I’m sure you have enough of your own and don’t want to hear about mine. Anyway, we were out of San Evaristo by seven. As usual, the sea was dead calm, so it was motor or sit and wait for the wind. We opted to motor. The wind did finally come up just before we entered Bahia Agua Verde. I tried to drown a Rapala lure all the way to no avail. I better start catching something decent soon, or it’s going to get pretty hungry down here. It is a bit tricky approaching the bay due to a reef and some hidden rocks. Once again I was thankful to have the new sonar.

I had to set the anchor three times before I got it right. This is a really crowded anchorage and you really have to do it right, or you could swing into another boat during the night when the wind shifts. After everything was secure Judy and I went for a walk through the village and stopped at a tiny Tienda for some fresh bananas and a cold drink. We walked back to the beached dink and rowed back to the boat to have some vittles.
