We went from Ensenada de Raza on Isla Espiritu Santo to Ensenada Grande, an anchorage just a couple miles up on Isla Partida.
We keep the boom off to the side at anchor so the solar panels can get full sun

Temperature testing the water from the dinghy
Going to shore was like driving the dinghy in a big swimming pool
There was live coral and lots of fish by the rocks
The beach was white and fine like powdered sugar, but didn’t taste as good
Nicole was pleased
Bella Star at anchor
Ensenada Grande is a very large bay with no less than three separate bights that provide spacious, beautiful anchorages with depths that allow for wide spacing of vessels. But even with all those anchoring options, some megayachts would agree that the spot 50 feet off Bella Star’s port side is the ideal location to drop the hook.

What is the water temperature? A soon to be visitor of Cabo really wants to know :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks very inviting!

OMG!! I guess they figured they have tonnage on you!! I am pretty sure I would have found one of my old AC/DC albums and had it blaring as loud as I could!! Then I would have fired up the good old honda generator and ran it on high setting, while making water of course!!

Um, I see you found time to paint your toes. Cute!
ReplyDeleteThat looks dreamy... We can't wait to get back up there! Wait, yes we can... This is all about slowing down right? We do look forward to it though. Lovely photos! :)
ReplyDeleteR - The water in Cabo was really warm (at least a couple of weeks ago). We swam around for over an hour and didn't get cold.
ReplyDeleteTom & Jeanne - The AC/DC and generator is a good idea. I think I'll pick up one of those Mexican wrestling masks you see them selling on the street sometimes. Then I can come out on deck wearing nothing but that mask and waving around a turkey baster while the AC/DC blasts... should do the trick.
Kyra and Rick - We're still hoping to run into you guys... sorry about your mast. That must have made a sound that you won't soon forget.
I hate it when that happens! (re: Anchoring etiquette) Kirsten on S/V Silhouette
ReplyDeleteWHAT goes through their minds when they anchor like that? ("Minds"? What minds?)
ReplyDeleteAre you their dinghy? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Super quiet series generators from Honda, truly live up to their name. Lawn Mower Sales Roswell are also quiet and have incredibly low decibel levels.
