Yesterday we hopped into the dingy and went for a visit on SV Cat 2 Fold. It is a 40 ft catamaran with a cat rig on both amahs and it folds up so it is trailer able. On board is Bryan, his girlfriend Deidre and Bryan's two kids, Bao and Georgia who are just a little older than Miles and Ruby of SV Convivia. The kids are having a great time playing, jumping off the side and swimming under the trampoline. We visited for a while and then Rich and I went for a walk on the beach.
It is a long beach with sugar white sand and we have it all to ourselves, with a few birds. On the tide like we saw the remains of several puffer fish, some half inflated with the spines sticking out. We also saw the remains of a parrotfish. The shells are tiny but I picked up a few. It was great to get off the boat and take a walk. The anchorage was very peaceful last night and the sea was like glass with only a ripple from the large schools of small fish below.
This morning we left Bahia San Gabriel and headed north following the coast of Isla Espiritu Santo. We sailed a bit in the northerly and now we are at anchor at Caleta Partida, in a small bay in between Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida. The bay is the remains of a volcano crater that eroded on the western and eastern sides. On the eastern side is a small fishing camp on the sand spit between the two islands. We are sharing the anchorage with 12 other boats. The sun has just set and it is quiet except for the slap of water against the hull of the dingy. Even the radio chatter has died down.
Tomorrow we return to La Paz. We hope to meet up with our friends on SV Three Sheets and SV Bravo while we are there.
Adios
