Here we are in Turtle Bay. This is Kim and Linda (Endeavour) and another cruiser, Linda, on Entelechy. Turtle Bay is in the background, and the town, dusty and small, is located behind and just to the side of this bar. We had our first Corona in Mexico here. This is a rite of passage for all cruisers...I don't even like beer, but had one anyway!
Jan and Rich aboard Slip Away, our sister ship. Wow, what a great job they have done with their renos!
Ralph proudly displaying his first tuna! However, afterward was not such a pretty sight...the cook trying to deal with very rolly seas and a very bloody fish! We didn't know we were supposed to bleed this fish...seemed to be doing a damn fine job all on its own! Found what appeared to be a good recipe but, once cooked, it still tasted like tuna! Tuna should be in a sandwich or a salad...not a main course, in my mind.
All ashore for a pot-luck in Bahia Santa Maria. We had fifteen cruising boats attend this, both Canadian and US boats. No shortage of food or drink at the pot-lucks.
The pot-luck from above. Fortuitous is out there somewhere. We really enjoyed this place! Here, we traded with a fisherman. We got 4 lobster for 2 cokes, 2 pencils, some candy and a small stuffed toy. MMMMM MMMM GOOD!
These are some of the people we are travelling with. We sometimes leave a place together, sometimes separately, but we all seem to meet up again somewhere down the line. The people are the greatest!
Here I am trying to learn how to use the outboard. A tiller seems to be difficult for me to grasp...no pun intended. Pull left go right, pull right go left...what is that all about anyway!
Here we are off on another hike. This area is a small spit of land and on the other side is Mag Bay. We had to walk right through this little village, no way to skirt it. I felt a little uncomfortable, but there were no problems.
This is a tidal area. During low tide, it would be impossible to bring in the fish boats.
We arrived at the other side after quite a long, dusty, and hot walk. Time for lunch. Kim and Linda doing just that...what's with that hat, Kim?
Denis and Michele, on Aquastrian accompanied us on the hike. They are fitness nuts, but we managed to keep up with them.
This was our picnic spot...quite neat! You can see the wreck in the background.
After lunch we took a walk along the beach. We could not believe how many birds we saw!
There were several whale bones along this beach, and the remnants of a wreck as well.
This is a very, very rare "elephant cactus". Can you see it?
