Cabo!

By Nicole

Cabo is crazy!  But in a good way.  You can’t help but feel like you’re on vacation here.  The anchorage is nuts, with jet skis, water taxis, parasail boats, ski boats towing wake boarders, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and Hobie cats all zipping in between anchored boats (including an anchored cruise ship).  It’s like rush hour, except everyone is traveling 55mph and no one is obeying any traffic laws. 

Some of the craziness in the anchorage

Practically as soon as we got the anchor down, we were in our swimming suits jumping off the boat into the crystal clear, teal-colored water. What a milestone!  We swam around Bella Star for an hour or two (staying right near the boat to avoid being run down by wild drivers). Estrellita even kayaked over and swam around with us – so much fun!  So much fun, in fact, that no one bothered to take pictures.  Next time, I swear.

We are digging the weather here.  I even made dinner last night in my bathing suit!  And thanks to our friends on s/v Navigo who brought over fresh mahi-mahi for us, we had some delicious grilled fish tacos.  Aaron declared that he could probably eat them every night.  Mmmm.

Yeah, it’s kind of a zoo and the anchorage is a tad rolly, but the beach is beautiful, the ocean is warm, the sun is hot and the vibe is definitely “party” – what more could you want?
