Bahia San Marte. 25.30.200N and 111.01.047W
Yup, we are now planning our cruising around getting fresh fruits and vegetables. For the love of a mango; a pineapple; some carrots. In this part of the Sea (and other places north) there are no small towns so no way to re-provision.
We moved down to Aqua Verde about 5 or 6 days ago; we planned to move on when the small tienda received their weekly truck delivery. That turned out to be today. So we loaded up our bags with food to stretch out for 2 weeks; kayaked back to Magic; pulled the hook and turned the corner south. We went all of 7 nautical miles to Bahia San Marte: a quiet bay with several sand/gravel beaches backed by colorful, rocky hills. This is a new anchorage for us! We already jumped into the water and snorkeled on Punta San Marte: enormous and colorful parrotfish were spotted easily. I also watched a spotted snake eel (kind of wanted to swim back from that one) and a barberfish "clean" a client fish by nimbling off parasites! The water is definitely losing that green color but it is cold again and we are back in those wetsuits.
We will be here for a few days and as long as conditions stay mild. Then we will continue our slow ride back to LaPaz.
