Bahia de Los Muertos

March 16-18, 2013

We didn’t enjoy Muertos as much as Frailes, but the wifi from the restaurant was a nice treat

Frailes to Muertos
It was a short, overnight passage from Frailes to Muertos

Passage Log Highlights

  • 0420 Slowing down to arrive after sunrise
  • 0657 Arrive

(Edit: This was a very unnerving experience the first time.  It was very dark and the only way I knew there was land was from the chart plotter.)

Walking from the dinghy dock to the restaurant, notice Alex is carrying a small bag of trash. Trash disposal is a big deal for cruisers.

The surf made the kayak landings a little more interesting

Alex decides to try boogie boarding (unfortunately, there’s not THAT much surf)
No waves to boogie board? No problem.

Subject: Headed for Puerto Balandra

We lost wifi abruptly last night, but it was fun sharing photos and face timing. We are leaving in about an hour to head up around the corner to Puerto Balandra. It should take us half a day to get there.
Love you all.
-D.
