Poza de las Nutrias

50 37.987 S, 074 15.750 W Poza de las Nutrias

We were anchor up at 7:35 am and a group of dolphins ushered us out of the anchorage. We had plenty of wind from 3-23 knots but the current was in our favor and by noon we had anchored and tied 3 shorelines at Poza de las Nutrias.

Nutrias is not in the Spanish dictionary but in an English dictionary it refers to coypu. A coypu is defined as a South American rodent similar to a beaver. We have not seen one in the anchorage yet but one of the cruising guides says we should also be on the look out for otters and even condors which soar of the rock hillsides. So far no condor sightings but I did see a kingfisher swoop over the boat and land in a nearby tree and trill.

Rich made an apple pie for dessert so I will close now.

Cheers
