On Wednesday Feb9 we sailed down to Chacala bay and discovered a new side of Mexico. First of all it is tropical Mexico after months in the Baja desert
The beach is lined with coconut palms..... This has spawned a new adult beverage (which we have not yet sampled) called "Coco Loco" which is apparently a coconut filled with Tequila. We also anchored in a new fashion with the boat anchored facing away from the beach and held in position with a second anchor off the stern holding us into to the swell so the boat may "hobby horse" but not roll side to side. The added benefit is that we have a full time view of the beach and breakers. The happiest change has been that there are tourists here rather than empty beaches. Although we could do without the tourists it is so nice to see that the business's are making money As we have noted here Mexico has been empty but not Chacala (nor Jaltemba where I am actually writing this).
I imagine it has something to do with the weather because it has finally warmed up.
