The Hook
25 November 2007 | Isla San Francisco - The Hook
Stuart
We are anchored at what is called 'The Hook'. A absolutely beautiful 2 miles of white sandy beach, loaded with shells, on the Isla of San Francisco. We arrived here about 1 pm today (Sunday, I think, Nov. 25th) First thing, we all got into the dinghy and to the beach. Belle, got her afternoon swim in and lots of shelling.
We left La Paz on Saturday at 7:30 am, into what became quite windy. We had up to 30kts of wind and very choppy seas. So much so that we heard later that the closed the port of La Paz. After about 4 hours of the wind and seas we nestled into a nice little anchorage called Ensenada de la Raza. It was pretty protected from the wind and seas so we could rest comfortably. We had a full moon to top off the night.
We were the only boat at anchorage which is so nice. A lovely little cove.
We left Ensenada de la Raza about 8 am Sunday, and went to Isla de Los Islotes, a sea lion rookery. It was way kewl, and very noisy with all the sea lions barking. We drifted within a couple hundred feet of the sea lions and watched them.
And now we are getting ready for steaks on the grill for dinner.
Monday, on to Bahia Aqua Verde.
