The winds can change rapidly here so you want to carefully pick which side of the very large, round rock you anchor on. When we arrived there was a south wind so we anchored on the north side protected by the rock. During the night of the second day, the wind changed to come from the north. When we got up the next morning, everyone had already left because of the uncomfortab
le swells causing ‘rocking and rolling’. So we headed across to a nearby island where we would have a north wind shelter. It was about a 2 hr. motor.The following morning after that, it was off to El Gato which was a 3 hour motor. El Gato has a beautiful little bay with red sand stone hills.
There
was also an opportunity to take a long walk in the desert among the beautiful cactus and plants.Agua Verde was next. To get there, it was a very beautiful motor with unbelievable grand canyon-like scenery. Very large rocks protruded from the sea along the way. At Agua Verde we were able to kayak and meet up with some friends from California. Interestingly enough, we were at their bon voyage party when we came down the coast and now we were with them again in this little bay.
