Las Hadas - 1500 miles

30 January 2010 | 19 06.066N 104 20.553W
We made it early afternoon under sail most of the way to Manzanillo Bay and the Las Hadas anchorage, famous for the movie "10" which was shot here. Best we can calculate, we've gone over 1500 miles so far!

There were over 20 boats in this tiny anchorage outside the breakwater of a very small & unusual marina. It's a med-moor style marina for about 50 boats if that. We dinghyied in to check out about water and fuel. Doesn't look like a fun place to try to pull in to do that so we're not going to even try. It's also a resort type place here and everything is really expensive. We got two drinks (1 soda, 1 beer) and 2 icecreams and it cost over 70p.

The anchorage is very busy with boats towing wake boarders around the anchorage, like a fish in a fish bowl. Why they don't go out into the bay where there' lots of room is beyond me but hey it's their country and we're just visiting......and not for long. We decided to pull out the next day and head back north (instead of going another 200 hundred miles to Zijuatenejo) and pulled into Santiago Bay.

Though the boating community wishes he'd stick with Phil (there's too many Jim's and we haven't met one [...]
