but a wet ride getting to and from shore in the dinghy. And this is just a preview of the stronger north winds we will get for much of the winter here.
This morning, the winds subsided, and there was a mass exodus of boats heading out to the islands or off for the mainland. We decided to stick fairly close to town, because I need Internet for my work for the next few days. After an hour of sailing, and another 2 hours of motoring, we arrived at Bahia San Gabriel, near the SW end of Isla Espiritu Santo. It is a convenient and popular choice - there were 8 boats here ahead of us.
The first order of business was to don snorkel gear and jump in the water.
Viz was no more than 20 feet, but there was a lot of fish life and coral.
We finished the day with a walk on one of the nicest beaches along this stretch of coast.
The oyster shells remind us of when this area was famous for pearls. John Steinbeck wrote a book about it.
