Wed Apr 9 - Bahia Carillo
9 50.30 N - 85 29.45 W
Charlie’s Charts (one of the cruising guides we have been using) suggested this was a good place to tuck in for a night. It is fairly exposed and has a tricky entrance dodging some rocks only visible at low tide. The shores were well groomed and occupied by a hotel, what looked like condos and private houses. There is a small area mooring some nice sportfishers and what looked like a service area I wold hesitate to call an actual marina. We found it too crowded to anchor in the first suggested area and it was getting shallow way too fast, so we went across to the second suggested anchorage and found it rolling with swells. We ended up dropping right in the middle and found it quite pleasant.
This was one of the few places we didn’t get a hint of a wifi trace. I guess we are starting to get really far out. We also broke out of the 10 latitude range. Currently we are cruising 9 deg 45 mins N. I tried to find the North star last night but it was lost in the horizon haze or even behind the cliff of this cove. We didn’t get rain last night, but lightning was on the horizon with no thunder. It must have been way off.
Every cove we get into seems to have it’s own different little world built in. Right at sunset THOUSANDS of little tiny fish about 2 inches long swarmed in pockets around the boat and were surface feeding. We could barely get a glimpse of them because they were moving so fast. It rippled the surface and sounded like rain.
We have about 58 miles to get to Bahia Herradura and get into Los Suenos Marina.
