Caleta San Juanico

We arrived in San Juanico on Easter afternoon; we had waited for the forecast afternoon southerlies but alas found only a mild north east breeze and south east swell. We opted to anchor in the southern lobe of the bay for protection from the swell. We rolled a bit as the wind died and this morning moved to the northern lobe. WAY MUCH BETTER.

We had the hook down again by 9am (26'22.13N & 111.25.81W). Within an hour the kayaks were splashed and we paddled around to meet our neighbors on 3 other boats. Then off to shore for a hike around the beach and exploring the rocky pinnacles, beautiful beaches, and assorted geological formations. We are well protected from today's north east breeze; no bees or bugs so far; and fabulous views. This afternoon we spent reading (Alan is finishing up To Kill a Mockingbird and I started Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie). I also worked on some needlepoint. Soon it will be time for sundowners and our 1 game of backgammon at sunset. Pizza on the BBQ for dinner. Life is great.

We expect to stay here for several days awaiting a weather window to cross to Guaymas (on the mainland). Guaymas is less than a 100 nautical miles due north from here so we want a forecast with no north wind. Hoping for those southerlies again.
