Aqua Verde

The days flew by in Aqua Verde,  one of our favorite Baja anchorages.  Beach hikes, birding, kayaking, and lazing in the sun.  All pleasant ways to spend a few days.  There was hardly a speck of wind and I think after blowing snot for a week plus, those pleasant days were a welcome reward.

One day we had to share the anchorage with one of the cruise ships that ply these waters.  We went to bed with a completely silent and darkened environment, only a few anchor lights twinkling and a campfire or two ashore.  The village has no electricity so only a few lights there either.  Then, in the night one could hear a low rumble.  Peaking outside it was as if an entire city block had just come into view:  those lights and generators run nonstop!  The BIG boat cruisers had some morning activities: a hike or a horseback ride or a beach walk.  And off they went by lunch time!  Quiet again.

There is a small tienda here--we got fresh tortillas, a few bananas, and goat cheese.  Yummy.  We traded 4 double A batteries for a fresh fish.   We bought a lottery ticket for a school fund raiser.

Today we moved to Candeleros and are anchored off a fancy resort and tapping into the free WiFi signal.  Tomorrow we move a few more miles up to Puerto Escondido.
