Punta Chivato to Mulege (Leg 2 Day 3)
Hola from Mulege Our south anchorage of San Marcos has great protection but is a little buggie. They’re out early this morning so we motored away early on glassy seas towards Punta Chivato. It’s much warmer today and arriving at Chivato we hit the water before heading in to the resort. Neely was SO READY to swim and doesn’t want to get out. We put her on the boat and she jumps right back in..
. Our lucky day, the Punta Chivato resort is open for lunch. After looking around a bit we settle in for drinks and appetizers. We’re the only guests at the moment. They cater to groups . The resort is in great shape and a good place for a photo op..
Winds are up out of the east as we head south for the 10 mile sail to Mulege. . . Tides are good for our passage into the inner harbor but we still get the 5ft, 4ft, 3.5ft call . Mulege has a mix of American sport fishing and a large fleet of pangas. In the photo below, fishermen pull yellowtail, sierra & a few other variety of fish out of their nets and load them into refrigerator trucks. Dorado aren’t in the area yet.
We decide to walk the north shore of the river into Mulege 4km up river. . How would you like to go fishing in the smiling panga. . . Okay maybe 4km is a little to far on a warm afternoon so we stopped by a fishing camp and arranged a ride in a The dive shop is open and Bill bought a lure that . The the riverfront is looking good but the Malecon improvements don’t seem to have made much progress. While the girls finish shopping Bill, Neely and I find the local watering hole for some Mulege Margaritas. Talking . Clear skies and warm weather at sunset as we walk to El Patron restaurant for dinner. .
Didn’t get to see the Mission or Prison but another good Mulege visit.

Hi Lowell, Frankie, Bill & Neely.
I’ve just received your latest blog after putting Kerry on the plane this morning. It was hard not to change my mind & come with her – I’m suffering huge envy. Keep on having lots of fun – this year I’ll just have to be content to take my Baja hit this year vicariously. Best wishes to you all.
I need that lime green and red Ponga for my pantry!! (Frankie.. you’d understand!):twisted:
