Some Good Sailing

We just arrived at Caleta de Campos about 70 miles up the coast from Ixtapa. It was a long day since we left before light, but we had some really great sailing this afternoon. It's always nice when we can get great boat speed sailing and have music playing in the cockpit!
Since we just arrived, we don't have much to report. The place looks really unique. There's a nice sandy beach with large rocks right to the water. The Pemex (gas) station even has an ocean view! Also along the beach there are 5 or 6 little palapa restaurants and some homes in the hills. There's a break wall here that we're anchored behind. The break wall says "Bienvenidos a Bahia Bufadero" or "Welcome to Bufadero Bay." In fact, as we were anchoring a welcoming committee was watching us. Actually, it was a few people just sitting out on the break wall, but a few more people came out to watch when they realized we were staying. This is a remote area of the state, and I can't imagine they get many visitors. Most sailors skip this anchorage because it's considered rolly. Those that don't skip it have told us it's very beautiful. So far, we're glad we're here to check things out.
