isla carmen and danzante















entry from my journal on april 13 says....we left puerto escondido and motored over to Danzante into honeymoon cove. we lucked out and had the whole place to ourselves for several hours. i kayaked the whole bay and a flock of kayakers were beached on the north shore. later jim and i took the dinghy into shore for a long hike to capture the aerial views. sunset was particularly beautiful when the hills lit up with the golden colors you see above. the starfish is called a gulf star and is covered with lots of dots.
april 14 we left honeymoon cove and headed over to ensenada del ballena on isla carmen. the water was glass smooth, flat silky seas. we arrived in ballena and saw the boat warren peace again. i kayaked a little bit but the winds were too strong. winds picked up at night and we stood anchor watch, both of us unable to sleep. when we felt the keel hit the bottom it was time to go. so at 12:30am with the kayaks and dinghy dragging behind we motored out into the sea toward la lancha and circled around until sunrise. we went in and dropped anchor, exhausted.
