Pierre left and we are again alone together with Helena...we leave next day with a good wind for anchorage hopping in Bahia de las Animas; This bay share with Bahia de Los Angeles the same majesty with Sierra agua de soda as a red background: We drop anchor twice a day: El Alacran, Punta Islote, East bay and En Medio cove are choiced. Unnexpected departure of Pierre is a choc and we feel it; it ll alterate our program but not destroy it n we are not certain to replace him, so closed to our Pacific crossing from Puerto Vallarta...after all we did it already twice in this direction...
 |
| First reef to start from Bahia de Los Angeles...we ll anchor a few miles more south... |
 |
Good: Helena keep her fishing motivation...
|
 |
| First night in safe anchorage of EL ALACRAN |
 |
| Then from a wonderfull (but cold) sunrise glide... |
 |
| ... to the "legacy" of fishers in PUNTA ISLOTE.. |
 |
| Unlike island, the site is reachable through a dirt road... |
 |
| Nobody is living on this camp anymore... |
 |
| ...except the virgen memory, never too far in Mexico... |
 |
| ...But on the opposite site of the lagoon, this fishcamp is still alive... |
 |
| Fortunatly it's always possible for any place to show only the "doctor Jeckyll" side... |
 |
| Following daystop in one of the EAST BAY... |
 |
| Inside, Helena is busy with the med inventory... |
 |
| Not much on the gravel beach...Whale bones... |
 |
| ... drift wood... |
 |
| ...and these numerous strange creatures |
 |
| Later, approching "en medio cove, last anchorage... |
 |
| Many pelicans squads in transit fly above EN MEDIO cove... |
 |
| ...they show us clearly why through this particular spot... |
 |
| ...Un fact, these B52 like fantastic gliders roll up the local thermic. |
 |
| like nearby sister cove ANIMAS SLOT, place is scenic with beaches... |
 |
| ...tomorrow we cross the Cortez sea eastward for ESTEBAN island.... |
