Sunrise on Saturday, October 29

We had stayed out late for the Dia de Los Muertos festivities, and on Saturday morning, we were off to a slow start. The diver came and cleaned Kosmos’s bottom. Eric met one of the neighbors, who had a dive compressor onboard his boat and offered to fill our empty tank. Yay! 

Dan and Drake came over in the late morning. Claire had told us that the hotel/restaurant a mile away from the marina, called Hotel Tripui, had pretty good food, and they would let us use their pool, which was warmer and larger than the marina pool. We walked over there for lunch and brought our swim gear.

Once we reached the mouth Bahia Concepcion, we rounded the corner into the Sea of Cortez, and headed south. The seas were calm. Overall it was a smooth and pleasant trip.

Eric and Keith went back to Kosmos for dinner. After dinner, the three of us went to shore for another quick visit with the family. Here is a sunset photo

We keep forgetting to mention that there is a bug here that floats on the water. The cove is full of them at night, and the fish go crazy gobbling them up.

On Monday, Eric and Keith still weren’t feeling good. We didn’t venture out until dinner time, and it was only to go to Ana’s to eat. Does anyone know what kind of bird these are? We are not sure if they are buzzards or vultures or another scavenger, and we’ve seen them frequently in Baja.
