We had a nice run up to Puerto Escondido with stops at Isla San Francisco, Puerto Escondido, Los Gatos, and Agua Verde our favorite. We spent two nights at Agua Verde and had a cocktail beach party with all the b oats anchored there. The party was on the beach in the NW anchorage dubbed the AVYC. It was fun and we got to meet a bunch of new people. Then we headed up to Los Candelaros where the new Villa Palmar hotel is located with free Wi-Fi and pool and 2 x 1 Happy Hour starting at 4 PM. Again there were about 10 other boats there and we had a great afternoon pool party, caught up on all the email and news, and they at 4 the drinks started coming. Great time had by all. Next morning we left for Puerto Escondido, 7 miles away, and arrived and dropped anchor and checked in with the harbor master. We paid for 2 nights mooring and then went to Pedro's restaurant for a really good cheeseburger. Rivals SDYC's world famous burger. Of course there was no fuel and probably wouldn't be any even though there would be about 100 boats arriving for Loreto Fest. Poor planning but if you are in bankruptcy sometimes there is no choice. However there was toilet paper and soap in the heads but no hot water. Small progress but progress at least. The next day our rent a car arrived and we drove to the airport to pick up our friends Bob and Darlene Spriggs who would cruise down to San Jose del Cabo with us and Bob will help me Bash back home. We went into town to walk around and get an ice cream and then do some provisioning. Back to the boat for cocktail hour and then to Pedro's for dinner. Had a really good dinner of fish and scallops, but the guacamole and chips api (that's appetizer in Canadian) was out of this world. Pedro told us his secret but I will only say that it includes avocado oil and cilantro ground into a pesto. Best we have had. Left Escondido and went to Candelaros for another pool day. Then south to Agua Verde for a night and we had a really rolly one that finally calmed down around 10PM. Left there for San Telmo for some beach combing but with the Northerly and the swells it would have been a rough dinghy landing so we opted out and went to Isla San Francisco where we are now. Very quiet evening spent playing the continuation of our Shanghai Rummy game. About midnight it started to blow and this morning there is a good 10 - 15 knots out of the south, right where we want to go. So we will wait and see.
