Wednesday 7th – San Juanico Cove to Carmen Is.
San Juanico Cove looks even better this morning. The early morning sun makes the sea sparkle and the colors of the nearby islands look wonderful. Lowell takes Richard & Neely ashore for a camera lesson. Richard listens & learns but Neely seems distracted, her mind elsewhere..
Isla Carmen is the biggest of the islands in the Loreto group and its 17 mile lengh runs north – south affording many good anchorages. We sail into a beautiful small bay, Vee Cove, in the north of the island. It is spectacular with high limestone cliffs giving way to a white sandy beach at its head. Beyond the beach, the sand dunes rise up then fall away abruptly into a deep chasm alive with vegetation, surprisingly green in parts and creating a sharp contrast to the white and pastel colors of the surrounding mountains & cliffs. The bay is rather open to the north and we joggle around at our anchorage. But our meteorology experts on board predict that, as the day cools, the northerly will slow and later turn to come from the land.
Back on the boat, Lowell has the margueritas ready as the sun sets on another spectacular day. After dinner, we review the day’s photos on the laptop and resume the card game, Frankie continuing to trounce us unmercifully. Richard for the Gato Loco Crew. .
