I won the video game competition with Drake. Drake ended up quitting just before I won. Suspicious, right? We also played at the pool some more. 

J’ai gagné le concours de jeux video avec Drake. Drake a fini par abandoner juste avant que je gagne. Suspect, pas vrai..? Nous avons joué un peu plus à la piscine. 

Agua verde is meh. The sand is a nice texture. The buildings in the town are far apart. The roads are not paved, so they are dusty or sandy. I got stung by a jellyfish when we were snorkeling. 🙁

Bahia Agua Verde, Day 2

Sunrise on Tuesday, November 1

One of the sailboats left early in the morning. That boat had been on the edge of the most protected waters. We immediately picked up anchor and moved about 200 feet north into the spot where it had been. Even though we’re still not completely protected waters, this new spot was an improvement over the last spot. It’s amazing how much of a difference a couple of hundred feet can make.

Christi woke up feeling horrible. She did drag herself out of bed for a few minutes to help move the boat, but she went right back to bed and didn’t get up again until mid-afternoon.

The men got down the dinghy and went to shore. They checked out the big sand bar between the land and the big rock, then went and checked out the village. View of the shoreline looking northwest.

On Monday (October 31), at about 1030, we left for an anchorage called Bahia Agua Verde. It was a four-hour ride, heading south. Before leaving, Christi and Keith gave Kosmos a quick wash down. Keith was really happy about it.

We’ve mentioned that the charts for the Loreto area are inaccurate more than once. Here is the chart of us in the channel as we were leaving Puerto Escondido. Eric had set the offset a different zoom so things are quite shifted at the zoom level on the picture. Good thing we did that upgrade to amphibious vehicle before we left San Diego! 😉

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.
