We were sad to leave Playa de Bonanza before we’d done any exploring, but it was uncomfortable and we needed to move on. We pulled up anchor at 0815 and headed north to Isla Partida.

In good news, Eric and Keith were both feeling better. In bad news, Christi now felt like she was fighting a cold. 

For two-and-a-half hours, the ride was a bit bumpy due to head seas. But it smoothed out pretty quickly once we rounded the northern tip of the island and turned southwest, with the wind and waves. 

Half of a mile north of Isla Partida’s tip was a tiny island called Los Islotes, which was a world-famous sea lion rookery. Sea Lions can sometimes be aggressive creatures, but we’re told that at this spot, the sea lions were friendly and would allow people to swim with them. Only licensed tour operators were allowed to go to Los Islotes. We didn’t see too many sea lions, but we could hear them barking as we passed by.
