Islas Coronados, Islas Coronados, Islas Coronados
Wow, it's been quite a while since your last post. From Timbabiche we motor sailed up to Agua Verde, one of our favorites. We met up with Janice and Jay (Ceilidh -- pronounced Kay Lee), who we haven't seen in several years -- back in our Jellybean days. We walked around town with them, picked up a few things at a small tienda, and also bought a yellowtail fish that a panguero held up to show off his catch upon returning to Agua Verde. The next day I made bagels and Jay and Janice came over for lunch -- quite a hit out here in the middle of nowhere! We bought some of the goat cheese produced by the locals, and after a few days, continued north. We came to Islas Coronados and since our arrival, we've been in and out of the anchorage several times. First to have a day provisioning. Our friends, John and Patricia, who now own a home in Loreto (one hour away from Islas Coronados) brought their car down so we could pick up lots of groceries and not have to carry them. We went out to lunch that day as well, and then returned to Islas Coronados. A few days later we picked them up at the dinghy dock (after taking a nice walk in town) and brought them out to Damiana for a fish dinner and an overnight. This morning Roy made banana pancakes, we returned to Loreto, went to a bakery new to us but highly recommended by Patricia, went out to lunch with John and Patricia at a restaurant new to all four of us (a winner!), then said hasta luego (see you later), and before heading to the dinghy went to the supermarket for fresh broccoli -- and once again brought Damiana back to Islas Coronados!
