While this isn’t the best picture of the moon itself, it shows how much light the full moon was emanating on Thursday, December 8, before the sun rose. It was so bright it was almost like daylight.

Here was the sun rising to the east while the moon was setting in the west.

On the morning La Paz radio net, Eric announced that we’d just arrived and were looking for kid boats. After the net was done, someone called us on the radio and said there were two boats in Bahia Falsa with kids close in age to Keith. 

After we’d finished everything that we’d needed to do that morning, we pulled up the anchor and moved to Bahia Falsa so we could meet the families. It was a quick 35-minute trip south. Here is a photo of the anchorage from the distance. You can clearly see the awnings of the restaurant onshore.

We were hungry, so we quickly introduced ourselves to the two boats, then headed to shore for some lunch. The tide was relatively low, so we had to beach the dinghy pretty far out and walk in.

We found two pleasant surprises. When we’d last been there, the only items on the menu were burgers and shrimp. Now the menu was significantly larger. Also, last time, we’d had no cell phone signal. This time, we had reception. Woo hoo!

Here is a photo of Keith in the restaurant.

When we finished our meal, the tide was even lower. The dinghy was grounded. Eric dragged the dinghy quite a ways until the water was deep enough for the dinghy to float.

In the evening, we went over to one of the kid boats to visit. Here is Kosmos in the sunset.
