Puerto Los Gatos, BCS, Mexico
We spent a pleasant night at Bahia Agua Verde. Some west winds blew for most of the night but they never exceeded 10 knots and our anchorage was very secure. In the morning it was perfectly calm. I forgot to mention yesterday that we were greeted at the entrance to Agua Verde by a breeching whale - mostly we heard and saw the huge splash as he was directly behind us at the time.
We left Agua Verde around 9 AM and motored some 18 miles down the coast to our current location in Puerto Los Gatos. Uneventful day with extremely light winds - no sailing for us. We did see one boat with their sails up and no doubt we will see them here much later today. As for us, we were anchored shortly after noon.
This is a new anchorage for us. We missed Puerto Los Gatos on the way north last year, mostly because of its exposure to the east wind and the SE swell. We were unable to snag one of the better spots in the south portion of the bay as some other boats had beat us to them, so we are experiencing some light swell - so far it is nothing to complain about. With any luck it will die off as the day progresses.
Pretty spot with strange red rock formations all around. Oh oh, some bees have just discovered us and are scouting to see if we have some fresh water for them - time to close the hatches and huddle inside and hope they give up soon. We have heard some reports from boats further north who were swarmed with the little critters. So far we have had really good luck in that regard.
