We took a hike at Aqua Verde over the hill and then back along the beach. Really beautiful rock formations.
I'm on the left a little miffed because I'm not so sure we can get back this way . . .
Agua Verde is a picturesque spot
that Marcus has been looking forward to the entire trip. It was
beautiful as always, however the water was colder than I remember it
and we didn't feel up to snorkeling, ah well. We were lucky enough
to cross paths with Pam and Eric on Pie de Mar again, and we went for
a long hike. Marcus and Eric drug us along the shore on the return
trip and I was sure we were going to get caught at high tide and not
be able to get back to the boat. Should just trust Marcus, he and
Eric were right, we made it back to the beach with no problems.
The village seems
improved over last time. Still dirt streets, but it seemed the
individual houses and lots were better marked and the dirt was raked.
We also saw evidence of habitat for humanity in the numerous cinder
block homes. Only one of the 3 tiendas had evidence of
refrigeration, ice kept the few drinks available cold at the others.
There are still
cows wandering around, a couple of piglets and a heard of dairy goats
came through, apparently tended only by a dog. We purchased some
goat cheese and it was EXCELLENT. Sure wish I could get that at
home!
Last night at Agua
Verde there were some signifigant swells coming through the
anchorage, so we considered moving to a corner of the anchorage that
would have additional protection. We have a manual windlass instead
of electric so it is a bit of work to get the anchor up and
re-anchor. Deciding the swell would subside shortly, we elected to
stay put. What a mistake!! Rolling and pitching all night long, we
were so tired the next morning! Did I mention the first thing on the
list to bring back to the boat next season is an electric windless?
