Agua Verde

May 5-11, 2013

Agua Verde is a very nice anchorage. There are north and south-facing coves in the bay, so it’s good for most weather conditions. There is also a small town there, larger than San Evaristo, with small tiendas (stores) for basic provisions. And last but not least there is spearfishing at Roca Solitaria. We stayed in the Southernmost anchorage with Roca Solitaria to the North and Pyramid rock (great snorkeling) separating our cove with the main cove where the town is.

A soccer ball fell off one of the other boats, so Tim told the boys to jump in the kayak to get the ball. This is what Brenden came back with (a dead puffer fish). He was pretty pleased.

The boys and I (Deanne) were going for a hike, but they lost interest in hanging out with me when football became a competing option. Luckily, Sophia stuck with me.
