Puerto Los Gatos

May 3-5, 2013

About midway between San Evaristo and Agua Verde, this anchorage has beautiful red rocks and a nice beach for skim boarding. It does not provide great protection, though, so it’s best in calm weather. You can anchor on either side. We chose to anchor on the south side exposed more to the North, the rest of the fleet chose the north side exposed more to the South. I’m pretty sure it didn’t matter, it was rolly everywhere.

Passage Log Highlights

- 1200 Depart San Evaristo
- 1320 Sailing under Genniker & Main
- 1956 Arrive Puerto Los Gatos

Daily Notes

- Thousands of Dolphins

(Edit: This was crazy!!! On passage between San Evaristo to Puerto Los Gatos, there was a wall of water disturbance off in the distance which was seriously concerning. As it approached we realized it was dolphins. Thousands of tiny dolphins! No photos or videos as it happened too fast. Had we stopped to get a camera we would have missed it.

Evaristo to Los Gatos — We departed San Evaristo at 12:00 and arrived at Puerto Los Gatos at 18:56.

Sailing north to Puerto Los Gatos. I think this is Fluenta and Northern Passage

May 4, 2013 – Puerto Los Gatos

Daily Notes

- Red rocks, skimboarding, fishing
- Girls spa day on Sweet Dreams
- Lobster fest on Exodus

(Edit: Peter from Star Passage contracted with the local fishermen to provide a lobster feast that night. Soon enough Tim and the boys would be catching their own lobsters and we would be super spoiled.)

We settled into an anchor spot in the south lobe (there was a small reef between us and the beach)

Subject: Hi from The Sea

We are currently at a small bay called Puerto Los Gatos, and we are still with the other kid boats. Lots of fun including a girls spa day on one of the other boats (we are the only family without a daughter) and a Lobster feast on Exodus yesterday. We are leaving today for Agua Verde but getting a slow start. There is a small town there, so maybe wifi???
Love you all,
-D.
