Tim was scheduled to fly home in just a few days, it was time to keep moving. The passage from Ixtapa was uneventful, but beautiful night sky and we got into Cuastecomate on March 18 in the afternoon where we anchored with three other cruising boats. This place, previously known only to a few as "the secret anchorage" was exposed in Breeding and Bansmer's "Pacific Mexico" A Cruiser's Guide Book. If you're coming down here, get it. Enough said on that. We rowed the dinghy to the beach and toured town, which takes about 5 minutes, then back to the beach to one of several beach style restaurants for a cold beer and guacamole with chips. Not exactly on my diet now, but I splurge a little. We stayed one night here then hopped over to Melaque, the slightly larger town than Barra just over the hill from Cuastecomate which is only three miles from Barra.
