Quiet Time

San Evaristo, BCS, Mexico

Oddly enough, some wind and waves still managed to find us here in San Evaristo. Nothing too dramatic though.

When we arrived here in the bay, there were several boats already occupying the most inviting and protected corner, so we were forced to anchor more or less in the middle of the bay. For the most part this was OK, but during the night a bit of a swell found its way into the bay and made for another rolly night. Still nothing like the uncomfortable surf we had at Caleta Partida the night before.

This morning, we found everyone but one other boat had pulled up their anchors and left - we seem to have that effect in many of the place we go - not sure exactly why. Regardless, it now made the more attractive corner of the bay available. So, after breakfast, we upped anchor and moved into the south end of the bay, anchoring in less than 20 feet of turquoise water. Once here, the motion on the boat was much nicer and we had a lovely, relaxing day watching the local fishermen in the pangas and the diving pelicans they attracted. Also saw a large turtle that came over to give us a brief inspection.

A note about the weather. Right now, it is really very pleasant, highs during the day around 30C and lows around 20. Sitting in the cockpit with the bimini cover giving shade, with a gentle breeze blowing, it is just about perfect. I think we will stay at least another day.
