"A palapa in Yelapa beats a condo in Redondo". I think that's an old song or something. Anyhow, we sailed over to Yelapa yesterday from La Cruz, about 15nm, and it's a very pretty little cove. We took a panga ashore, and had a nice lunch in a palapa in Yelapa. As you can see from the picture, we made a new friend. Regretfully, we didn't bring C-monkey ashore to meet our new friend. Darn!
We had a nice sail back in the PM, and were back in La Cruz by 5pm. We didn't see any whales this time, but it was a clear, sunny day, something we haven't had much of lately. There's been some trough hanging over the area producing a lot of clouds. However, it's still warm so we're loving it.
Our current plan is to stay in La Cruz for a few more weeks, and take 2-3 day side trips to various anchorages and marinas in the Banderas Bay area and then take a couple of weeks heading back to Mazatlan and anchoring along the way at various cool spots. We plan to leave the boat in Mazatlan over the summer and then come down next winter and do the Sea of Cortez.
Anyhow, that's all the news for now, updates to follow.
