Punta de Mita
01 April 2012 | Banderas Bay, Nayarit
Capt. Crabby
On Wednesday we sailed over to Punta de Mita at the west end of Banderas Bay, accompanied by Frank and Stephanie on "Endless Summer". We spent two nights there, a went ashore a couple of times. It's a cute little town with some very upscale gringo condos as well as a Four Seasons golf resort-very exclusive.
Thursday night, we went to a really good Italian restaurant and had a great meal.
Friday, we sailed back to La Cruz, and decided to anchor out Friday night. The wind was blowing 20+ knots when we anchored and we somehow managed to get our anchor rode wrapped around the keel. When the wind abated, Frank and a guy named Pat from a neighbor boat helped me get unravelled, so I took them all out to dinner & beers. I felt like the nautical nerd for the anchor faux-pas but Jeanette and I have devised a better technique now. It's all a learning experience.
This next week is Semana Santa, (Easter Week) here, and a lot of things close for the week, so it should be interesting.
We are going to try to visit San Sebastian, in the mountains near here, next week.
