All by our lonesome

Amazing. We are by ourselves in Tenacitita. Past years have seen as many as 40 boats here in the two weeks or so before Christmas. Where is everyone? The lagoon anchorage in Bara de Navidad only had 6 boats in it yesterday. Rumor has it that the anchorage in La Crux is pack full so maybe folks are hanging there for the holidays. Over the past few years we have seen a change in the favored areas for cruisers to hang out in.
What caused it?
WiFi and the need to constantly update your Facebook page is what I think. Anchorages are chosen not by their remoteness or beauty but by the availability of internet. Two years ago Telcel came out with their wireless modem and cruisers latched on to them like free beer. Now you can get online anywhere you can get cell service.
Maybe their are less cruisers. You couldn't tell that by the entry's in the Baja HaHa. Record numbers over the past few years have joined the rally to Cabo.
Maybe people really believe that you chances of being gunned down by a drug crazed machine gun toting bandito is better here than downtown LA.
Maybe its the economy.
All I know is that we have this place to ourselves and its great!
