When we're out cruising, it's hard to figure out where the time goes...one minute we are putting the anchor down and the next thing we know several days have passed. We've been at Ensenada Grande for 3 days and have enjoyed every minute of the beauty of this place. The bay is large with rock formations that border on sculptures...the rock looks like lace in some places and in others it looks like molten rock has dripped and or been spread over others. I hope the pictures do it justice. We explored 4 separate beaches within the bay, each one unique with mangroves and some with sink holes behind them. The wildlife abounds in this bay, also. There is a constant splash and slap as small rays fly out of the water and do a belly flop back in. Some of these little guys will do this many times in a row and one time I thought one was going to jump right into the dinghy. The puffer fish are very numerous here and are extremely curious little creatures swimming around the boat and coming to the surface. Lorrie tried feeding them and found they like bread over grilled chicken. The water is so clear that we can see lots of species of fish in addition to the puffers swimming under the boat and near the reefs. We've seen turtles too. We witnessed a really odd phenomenon...yesterday a "red tide" advanced into the bay. A swirling slick cloud of red looking just like blood filled the entire bay turning the clear blue-green water to an opaque dark red. This happened late in the day and by the next morning, it was completely gone. Very strange...never seen anything like it before. Also,while here, I took advantage of the 69 degree water and once again cleaned the water line. I also noticed the zinc was again just about gone and replaced it while I was in the water. The boat must be emitting stray current somehow to cause this kind of degradation so quickly to the zinc. I'm wondering if using the SSB radio has anything to do with it?
