San Pedro, Part 1

After our return from our trip across the sea, we contemplated a teak project. Our lovely teak has started to look a little sad and we wanted to tackle it before it became a real problem. That all changed after another boater invited us to join them in San Pedro bay about 18 miles north of San Carlos. We jumped at the chance and took off the next day. However, upon our arrival the other boater was conveniently absent, which was fine by us as we had other anchorages we wanted to check out further north. 

We spent a peaceful night in the bay and the next day we were pleased and surprised to see our buddy boat friends, S/V Waveglider, sail into the bay. They had taken us to Las Cacinas, Kino Bay and Dog Bay in March. We rushed over to say hello and discovered they had been on the sea for the last five days without any engine power. They were exhausted and happy to be anchored for a few days so they could rest. We decided to stick around in case they needed assistance getting back to San Carlos.

The following day we walked over to the next bay and had a great time hiking and exploring.

 

 

After a few days we were ready to leave San Pedro bay, but we were all waiting for winds which would help S/V Waveglider sail back to San Carlos, with us close behind for support and assistance. However, the winds did not want to cooperate and we became stranded for a few more days. At times the anchorage was extremely uncomfortable with swells that wrapped around the entire anchorage which made a rockin' and rollin' home on the sea. We felt more like we were sailing than anchored in a bay. One morning we woke to a horrible sight, but more about that in the next post.
