Sunrise on Saturday, October 22. The crescent moon was again shining brilliantly as the sun rose under it.

Eric was pleased to report that he was now 100% back to normal. In the morning, we went for a hike. We were hoping to complete our hike before it got hot. We landed the dinghy on the beach where the RVs were. Here are a couple shots of the anchorage taken from a couple of different spots on the beach.

One of the campers pointed out there was a turtle nest. Some environmentalists had covered and marked it to protect the eggs from being stepped on/dug up by other animals. She said the environmentalists came daily to check on it.

Sunrise on Friday, October 21. The crescent moon shone brightly even as the sun rose underneath it.  

This morning, one of the neighbors in the anchorage filled our scuba tanks. What a relief that we can do the bottom again!

It was wavier on Friday than it had been on Thursday, and the anchorage was a little less comfortable. In the afternoon, we went snorkeling. We decided it was too wavy to be safe to snorkel in the best spot that we’d scoped out, the north-eastern rock, as it was exposed to the open waves. We opted to go to the northwestern rock. Look at the birds hanging out on the cactus on the rock.

On Wednesday, October 19, at 0730, we pulled up anchor and headed north. As the sun was rising on the west side of the cove, the east side glowed in the early morning light.

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.

On Sunday, October 16, Christi was feeling back to normal. Eric and Keith were not. Christi stayed onboard and cooked for most of the day. After lunch, Eric and Keith went to shore for the playdate with the family. They played Risk and swam. The water was still very green, so snorkeling was still off the table for us.

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.
