Escondido

Marina Singlar in Puerto Escondido puts us on a mooring ball, where we wait through a couple of days of hot weather and 25-30+ knot winds. There were reports on the single-side-band net this morning (5/22/08) of gusts to 55 knots in Bahia Agua Verde last night and 18-foot seas near San Carlos! The down-time was spent scraping varnish, reading a lot, and taking the dinghy into shore for a beer at the local resort, where we met a couple from New Zealand, traveling by land, who were lamenting the heat…we suggested they drive across the mountains to San Carlos in Magdalena Bay and see if they could hire a panga to go out whale-watching.
