We inflated the dingy and attached the motor so we could go to the beach. There were already some boats on the beach when we arrived and we had plenty of help moving the dingy up the beach. A number of people were snorkeling in the rock headland next to the beach and were impressed about the quality of the snorkeling.  There were a multitude of fish, turtles and other things to see. We plan on doing this tomorrow as the weather is continuing to improve. It was quite a sight, Hilbre riding at anchor in the bay and us sitting on a beach with azure blue water breaking on the shore.

 We met a number of new cruisers, an Englishman from Middleborough who had lived in South Africa for many years and another cruiser who had lived in New Zealand. We also met the lone sailor who had arrived on Wednesday. He had sailed to Cabo from Puerto Vallarta and was heading up the coast to La Paz. He has been sailing around the area on his own for more than a year. One of the other cruisers with a water maker let him take a shower on their boat. Such is the cruising community, a small band of wanderers who help each other without any expectation of a return.

For dinner, we ate that last of Georges Dorado; a fine meal as we watched new boats arrive from Cabo and drop their anchors in the now calm waters of the bay.  It’s a wonderful full moon tonight and we can sit out and watch those arrive from Cabo who got stuck there due to the blustery weather.
