I left Bahia Ballandra on Isla Carmen and was going to sail to San Juanico. On the way north it started to get a little lumpy so I dodged into a nice little anchorage that was well protected from the north winds and waves. The next morning I weighed anchor and bypassed San Juanico because it was just six miles further up the coast and I wanted to get a little further north. I pulled into Bahia San Sebastian, also known as Bahia Los Puercos(Bay of Pigs). It is a very small bay/cove with barely enough room to swing at anchor. I went ashore and chatted with one of the residents. There are about 15 homes all built and owned by gringos. A mexican owns the property and leases the land to the gringos. They built some very nice houses and are run on solar/generator electricity and the water comes from a spring/well.

I had to leave Puerto Escondido before Loreto-Fest begun. I suppose it is a nice cruiser get together but something I did'nt want to get involved with. It has things like boche ball, chili cookoff, dinghy races, and costume parties.....just what I've been looking for...right. It's run by the Hidden Port Yacht Club, which I'm now a member of. Locals who live there year round have a little different cruising personallity than those who are out there doing it. I sailed over to Isla Carmen which is about 12 miles from Puerto Escondido. I pulled into Ballandra Cove and there sit my friends Dave and Heather on Eupschia. I thought they had sunk somewhere because I was expecting them to come into Puerto Escondido and they never made it. I visited with them shortly and then my friends Chuck and Elaine on Boomerang came sailing in. What a nice get together all in the same anchorage. I only stayed the one night because I wanted to get a little further north.

I know this blog is supposed to be about my adventures while cruising. But, I must give credit to the reality of why I get to do what I'm doing. This May 1st I will be celebrating 30 years of being sober. Without that acclaimed sobriety, I would never have reunited with my son and got to know his wonderful wife and most important of all, spending the most wonderful(bar none) 5 years of my life being a part of my grandaughters growing up. None of this would have happened...I would be incarcerated or dead, if I did'nt have my sobriety. I love waking up in the morning and facing the day.
I'm off to a few more anchorages heading up to Santa Rosalia before going across to Guaymas. I should have another post in the Santa Rosalia area.
