Honeymoon Cove

Bad news folks. We got lazy with the camera.

Things that we did not take pictures of in Honeymoon Cove:

• Christy dinghy fishing while covered in 8 yards of mosquito netting
• The beach littered with hair clippings post cuts
• Jellyfish sting welts 2 days in - not pretty
• Our mad anchoring skillz in progress

Honeymoon Cove is not only our favorite anchorage thus far, it's also the sight of our most spectacular anchoring maneuver yet*, in front of spectators no less.

*Fortunately there was no wind to contend with, else our "spectacular" moves would have ended us up on the rocks. We still think we're badass.

Here's how it went: we nudged up into our favorite NW bight in the anchorage until the depthsounder read 9 feet and Jason hucked our secondary anchor off the bow. I expertly maneuvered the boat backwards while Jason paid out 200' of rode on the anchor. He walked the end of the rode to the stern and threw it on a cleat at which point, HW pivoted 180° and Jason ran to the bow to drop our primary anchor as we backed into the bight and I took in half of the secondary rode.

Other than patting ourselves on the back, we had a great time hiking and snorkeling around the cove - finally enjoying the warming waters of the sea again! We met some new friends on s/v Doin' It who we like even more after they've given us the secret recipe for homemade Baileys:

• 1 cup coffee
• 1 cup rum
• 1 cup Nestle Lechera (this stuff is all over Mexico - I think it's just condensed milk with sugar)
• 1 tsp vanilla

Delicious!

We did take a few pictures for your viewing enjoyment...


Results of mad skillz.


The elusive Mexican red crab. We really have no idea what they're called.
