We left at about noon to head north and spend the night and
the next day at Punta Chivato. We were
looking forward to eating dinner out as the guide book shows a nice hotel/restaurant
right at the beach near the anchorage.
After the easy 4 hour run, 22nm, we arrive to find out it is closed and
many of the homes here are closed up for the season. Overnight I believe out of approximately 20 waterfront homes, we only saw a couple house lights on.
The kids and Steve explored the closed-up resort on the point
here. We would have stayed here had it
been open and we needed a place to stay, it appeared to be really nice lodging
when it was open. We speculated whether
the hurricane Odile last year caused the closure but what damage was seen was
due to aging and neglect rather than the hurricane. Here are some of their favorite photos.
They came to pick me up for a dinghy to shore at the
shelling beach. On our way in the dinghy
we saw many yellow tail tuna swimming.
We felt as if we should get out the fishing poles. We caught some tuna back in Banderas Bay, but I
have failed to make a good marinade the few times I have been
cooking it, and we have just thrown it overboard as it has not been tasty. I need to get the marinade that Jude from sv
Sarita prepared our tuna in for dinner when back in Puerto
Escondido. Jude – I will be emailing you
as that was very yummy! You could spend
hours at this beach just looking for shells; there must be millions of them. There was what appeared to be an unfinished, potentially beautiful restaurant that was being built here at one point in the past.
