Ran just one anchorage north as winds picked up. A tight little anchorage but great for one boat. We got to see lots of blue-footed boobies on the cliff. What an amazing color on their feet. Unfortunately I could not get a good shot of them with our camera so this one is downloaded from the net (and I'm a bad girl and didn't get whose it is to give proper credit).

We paddled the entire anchorage and the park ranger came by and gave us brochures. He asked if we had a pass (which we didn't) and said even to anchor you have to have a pass in the park areas (which we thought it was only for going ashore). We told him we were headed out the next day going north so he let us go without buying one. Really friendly and nice guy. I'll give you the whole enchilada on the freaking parks and their passes when you get to the Loreto section of the blog.

Jim got in with his wetsuit and scrubbed the bottom which really wasn't too bad after a couple of months.
