Underway from Bahia Agua Verde
12 March 2016 | Bahia San Carlos- Timbabiche
Cal and Ro
After three nights moored in the sheltered and very beautiful Bahia Agua Verde, we up-anchored and set sail south for our next destination. We motored through the inner passage between Punta San Marcial and Rocas San Marcial and then hoisted the spinnaker and with the aid of 12 knots of wind, achieved a speed of 9 knots. It took 4 hours and 20 minutes to arrive at Bahia San Carlos Timbabiche, a distance of 25 miles. We dropped our anchor in 12' of water into a sandy bottom. Deserted except for 2 pongas and a truck, we decided to go ashore in the dingy and explore the extensive bay. We were immediately approached by a fishermen who offered to sell us "pescado". It was what we'd been hoping for and we willingly chose 4 hauchinango, (red snapper) and they kindly cleaned them ready for our "Veracruzana" dinner. It was the end to a perfect day of ideal sailing conditions, stunning coastline and glowing sunset over the Sierra de la Giganta range of mountains.
