We have made the rounds in Banderas Bay with Yelapa being our last stop. This cool little village is nestled among the palm tree and mangrove jungle covered hillside. We arrived late morning with Sans Cles to a busy little anchorage greeted by a panga driver trying to "sell us" on a mooring ball for $25.00/night. We went in, scouted out the area and found a nice little spot only 100 ft off of the beach to anchor. We had issues getting the stern anchor to stay set, so on the 3rd try Rob finally just rowed out and practically stomped on the anchor to get it buried only about 20ft off the beach. After 3 hrs of dealing with anchoring issues, we did meet friends on the beach for dinner. Meeting up with Ed & Cornelia on A Capela after last seeing them in LaPaz and Terri & Lyman on Sans Cles was great fun and shared stories well into the evening...The next day we all explored the village that is separate from the anchorage. There were many winding paths leading to and around homes/family businesses, little eateries nestled in the steep hillside. A woodworking shop, tienda, a couple of bars, even a pool hall. Behind the village was a waterfall that needed alot more water. The trail (much of it concreted) leading to the waterfall was above a deep creviced river that town's people even still washed their clothes in and people rode horseback. Watch where you step! No cars in or out of this little village only water taxis that bring tourists/supplies from Puerto Vallarta. They have a saying here...A palapa in Yelapa is better than a condo in Redondo... Apparently some ex-pat hippies settled here in the 60's and never left... Tomorrow....around Cabo Corrientes!
