Honeymoon Cove & Loreto Photo Log

May 30-31, 2013

We were so sad to say good-bye to Gary and Marsha. Honeymoon Cove is on Isla Danzante just south of Loreto. We only stayed there one night and we got chased out in the morning by hundreds of bees enjoying the dew that had collected on Exodus. Then we went to Loreto and said our good-byes.

We departed Agua Verde at 12:50 on May 30 and arrived at Honeymoon Cove on Isla Danzante at 17:39 sailing under Main and Genoa the whole way.  We stayed one night at Honeymoon Cove and then motored to Loreto the next morning.

Subject: On the move again

We will be leaving Agua Verde this afternoon to head closer to Loreto so we have a short trip tomorrow to take Gary & Marsha to the airport. 😦 Boys are out spear fishing now… last night we had fish for dinner caught by Alex and Brenden. They are becoming quite the hunters.
Love and miss you all.

Logbook – May 31, 2013 (Honeymoon Cove to Loreto to Isla Coronados)

Passage Log Highlights

  • 1750 Depart Honeymoon Cove.  Mucho Bees!
  • 1035 Arrive Loreto
  • 1627 Depart Loreto
  • 1748 Arrive Isla Coronados.  82 ft chain in 22 ft

Daily Notes

  • Drop off Gary and Marsha in Loreto
  • Fruteria, HW store, Ferre Mar, Tortilleria, El Pescador
  • Back to Isla Coronados (& the other kid boats)
  • Boys – Risk & movie on Sweet Dreams
  • D/T – Drinks on Fluenta

Edit: Oh my god the bees!  Our first bad encounter was back at Bahia San Gabriel on Isla Espiritu Santo, when Tim got the bright idea to put a bucket of water up on the port bow so that way they wouldn’t bother us in the cockpit.  This time we woke up to thousands of bees all over the deck drinking the dew.  Raising anchor was a precarious situation but somehow we got out of there with no bee stings.

Edit: About this time I started recording anchor chain we let out along with the depth.  We tried to shoot for at least 5 to 1 scope most of the time.  We hadn’t dragged since getting the new anchor, but we were a lot more mindful about it.

After Gary and Marsha headed to the airport, we did some provisioning. This is typically how we transport our groceries from the store to the dock… on our packmules
