Puerto Escondido

We just arrived and anchored in the quite precarious, rocky bay and are wondering whether or not we can securely leave Sidewinder in order to explore. David is checking out the famous surf break with the binocs, and there are many guys out. It is exceptionally beautiful, with crystal clear water, but we are quite close to the waves and some moored jet skis, and it is still very deep for anchoring. The guide books say it can be sketchy, so we might just dive in, swim, and be on our way to the next suitable harbor, just 37 miles away: Puerto Angel has great anchoring and clear water as well, so they say, and Mandy might still be there.

Yesterday we sailed slowly over the course of the day, interrupting the peace with our iron jenny when necessary. Unfortunately, we had to motor most of the evening until around 3 A.M., and we sailed the rest of the early morning. We just might venture by bus back up to this lovely spot to really check it out. Onward we go......we are loving life once again.
