Beautiful anchorage

We moved 20 miles south a few days ago. We are anchored in Ensenada Carrizal along with our friends from The Beguine, Valhalla and Rubber Duckies.
The bay is really pretty and reminds me of the Pacific Northwest. There are no homes on shore and the hills rise steeply right out of the edge of the bay to high hilltops. There are lots of rock formations, trees, scrub and cacti on shore.
Yesterday everybody on all 4 boats piled into their dinghies and explored the sea caves and cliffs and then went snorkeling. There are coral reefs along the shore of the bay with lots of reef fish. The water was a bit stirred up yesterday so the clarity wasn't great. Maybe it will be better today.
Ken and Paul (The Beguine) went for an early morning dinghy fishing trip and caught a Sierra. Paul filleted it and we all went over to The Beguine for dinner and laughs last night.
There is no internet service here and I've been having difficulty getting and SSB transmission out. I thing the high hills that surround the bay is the problem. Just like Desolation Sound (but not nearly as high), I can't send or receive radio signals. I'm even having difficulty receiving satellite radio!
