We left Isla Carmen and sailed across to the Baja coast to a beautiful anchorage called San Juanico. It actually has 6 different anchorages in the bay. What makes San Juanico unique is the interesting rock formations that separate or divide the anchorages. Some are jagged pinnacle rocks that stick up out of the water like giant fingers. Four of these pinnacle rocks had big osprey nests right on top. Behind the beach is a large freshwater lagoon, which is always a surprise to see in this arid desert climate. This is a favorite anchorage of many cruisers. There is small tree on the beach and is called the "Cruisers' Shrine" because many people leave a sign of some kind on the tree with their names and boat name and when they were there. People are quite creative in making their signs as you will see in the pictures. Some were carved in the sandstone rocks, some were painted on rocks or wood, one was painted on a flip flop, there's also a shirt painted on and shorts with a poem written on and one very creative person glued shells on a piece of wood to spell the name of their boat. Black obsidian "Apache Tears" can be found in abundance along the dirt road out of San Juanico. We caught up with some friends who we hadn't seen since Feb. in La Cruz and it was wonderful to see them again. We spent 2 days here and we want to go back and spend more time in this beautiful anchorage.
