This could be one of our favorite locations on our
trip. We had this small anchorage to
ourselves on this deserted island, so no homes or highway 1 noise to listen to. Private and quaint although tourists do come
by panga or on kayaks out here. Most
stay for an hour or two and are then gone.
The water was beautiful and snorkeling amazing on both sides of the
island. Clear water and no stinging
jellyfish! The water in the afternoon at
the surface felt over 90 degrees and 2 feet down it is 82 degrees (according to our depth sounder). You could certainly feel the temperature decline when
you dove down. Steve was able to spend
another couple hours cleaning the bottom of the boat.
We are ready for the crossing of the Sea with no barnacles or sea life clinging to our hull to
slow us down! Air temperatures during
the afternoon again were in the upper 90’s and humidity high. Steve and I slept outside until just after
midnight when the mosquitoes buzzing were too annoying to sleep through. Another hot night and we are finding it hard
to sleep. I know, we complained about
unpleasant seas at night just a month ago so this is a replacement
complaint!
