Anchoring in LaPaz is an art and a science and a crapshoot.
There is a strong current that often is at odds with the wind. So boats go every which way and one must allow extra space in all directions.
When we returned for the drive to Cabo, our neighbors let us know we had come within a half a boat length to them earlier in the day. Time to re-achor. And re-anchor and re-anchor. About 6 times later, 90 minutes and several miles away we found a spot all to ourselves. Of course, these moments are best at night with it blowing and the current going every which way.
And then we got up and moved again in the morning. But now we are in the Magote anchorage (not off water front) and we have a whole lot of swinging room. Feels fine!
We spent Saturday on the boat. Sobered by the earthquake and tsunami.
