We got out our snorkel gear and headed for the beach. We met up with Reg and Phoebe of Three Sheets. They were headed to the 1555 Restaurant at the end of the beach so we decided to join them. There we also saw Tucker, Victoria, Ruby and Miles of Convivia as well as some other cruisers. We sat down for cervesas and nachos while Reg and Phoebe enjoyed their lunch.
The restaurant was once the Giggling Marlin of Cabo San Lucas fame. The 1555 is part of the Los Suenos development including a golf course. Apparently the development has bought a large part of the bay property and would like to rename the bay to Los Suenos which means dreams and put in a retirement community. The bay's current name of Bay of the Dead is not the name the marketers would like to use for a retirement community. We will see if the name gets changed in the future or not.
After lunch, we went snorkeling in the bay. There did not seem to be as many fish as I remember from 10 years ago but still the water was pleasant. Rich was on shore standing by our dingy and talking to Tucker when a gentlemen walked up to him and asked if he was one of the boaters. Rich said yes and then the gentleman asked if he knew the 'Windarrians'. Rich thought a moment and then replied that yes he was from the sailboat Windarra. Dave Larkman then introduced himself. Dave and I once worked together at Commercial Avionics Systems at Boeing. He and his wife, Jean, live at La Ventana just around the point from Los Muertos for part of the year. We had been in touch via email but we did not expect to have them walk up to us at the beach. We chatted for a bit and we will get together once we get to La Paz.
You never know who is going to walk up to us on a remote beach somewhere.
Depending on the weather and our moods we may continue on towards La Paz. We are in no hurry
