Sunrise on Tuesday January 10
In the morning, Eric was sore from the inverter project. We added bleach to our water tanks before we topped them off, which is something that needs to be done every few months when consistently making your own water. We also turned our big freezer back on, which had been off since well before we’d left for San Diego.

Yesterday, we’d been pleasantly surprised to find out that the boat tied up in front of us was a family with a child onboard about Keith’s age. In the afternoon, we went to the resort’s beach with them.

This morning, we got Kosmos ready for sea and lifted anchor at 1000. It was a two hour ride to Playa La Bonanza, located on the east side of Isla Espiritu Santo.
The anchorage was a stunning perfect crescent with sparkling white sand against a backdrop of hills. Looking towards the north end of the anchorage.
