A Boat Trip

We headed North up the coast about 24 miles in our boat to check out coves, swim, snorkel, fish, spend two nights, etc. On the way we saw several villages located along the shore yet as far as we know there are no known marked roads from the main road to get to these remote locations (we are going to have to check this out further in the Jeep).
We also passed several shrimp trawlers.
Hunter made himself comfortable while we were under way by laying down on the cabin bed (our bed).

Our first night's cove that we shared with a couple of kayakers;
Hunter had a bit of a problem jumping out of the boat (after much coaxing he finally landed a poorly executed bellyflop) and then more of a problem getting back on the boat (one person had to be in the water trying to hoist him up while the other was on the boat trying to lift him on), the quarters were cramped but we managed, Shelly walked the shoreline and saw this dead sea turtle, and PJ relaxed at the boat. After dark there was incredible bio-luminous in the water and the stars above were amazing.

Our second night's cove was about 10 miles closer to San Carlos and two sailboats joined us;
PJ catches a Sierra fish (good for ceviche), more bio-luminous in the water after dark with the creatures appearing to be excreting the light and then the light would go out and you would see a whiteness in the water. Life on the boat is early to bed and early to rise. We made our way home on the third day stopping at more coves along the way and just simply enjoying ourselves.

Building UP

 We decided to bite the bullet and join the development craze here, lol. Building a great room on top of the casita. Will give us a place to hang 'together' while we are reading, crafting, stretching, watching TV and an indoor space to eat meals when it is very windy here. Plus Shelly can see the water from here and see if it is a good paddle day. They had to remove the top of the deck railing to attach the new bricks. The workers are FAST! This giant crane had to be brought in to hoist the concrete girders up to the ceiling. The roof will be poured tomorrow. The roof was poured today. More photos to come, check back... Quite a bit of work has been done since we left. The power lines have been cut out and lines will be laid before the tile goes down. The tiles are going in!! Painting and windows later this week with completion next week. Tile is in, needs grout. Windows going in!!! Door installed tomorrow. Final bits and pieces and then this wonderful new addition will await ou...

Hiking Adventures 2022

Image
 It's another year to tackle hillsides that I haven't before and revisit those I love.  The first hike of the season was to a granite cliff in Rancho Nacapule. We can't quite make it to the highest point of the cliff so we continue to an arch behind this cliff that we have hiked to before. This time we approached it from a different direction.  We then veer off and get a little further away from the vehicle than we intended. PJ was on alert that he may have to come get us. In the end we make it all the way back to our vehicle and boy are we tired. There are bike trails across from the Estuary that we have been wanting to see if they are also good hiking trails. And they are, plus look at these views. There is an entire point area in Guaymas that we haven't checked out. We head out searching for El Carricito. Access is via a rough 4-wheel drive dirt road to a beautiful bay that we'll have to come back to to paddleboard at. Looking for other hiking opportunities in th...
