This is the view of the
island as we sailed past, the jagged wilderness is really stunning. |
| This was the tiny north
bight anchorage, just big enough for our boat, stern anchored. We
could clearly see the reef on each side of the boat and the clear water
highlighted the many multi-coloured fish which swam around the boat. |
 |
 |
We didn't have to worry
about the distance to row ashore here, we could have just as easily swam
ashore to our private little beach. |
| No wonder they
nicknamed this cove 'Honeymoon Cove" it really is quite idyllic. |
 |
 |
We simply could not
take enough pictures of our very favourite anchorage of the whole of the
baja. |
| This view shows you the
whole cove, with our north bight anchorage in the foreground, the middle
bight just in view in the top left corner and the south anchorage where
you can see another yacht anchored by another small beach. The
other two coves further to the south also provide anchorage for one boat
each. |

These little fellows
which I refer to as 'zebra' fish always hung around the boat for bread
crumbs. This picture was taken from our cockpit looking down. |
 |
 |
| These flowering cacti
rise to about twenty feet or more and can cover a whole hillside. |
| These bright red
flowers grew on the side of the rockface and reminded me of geraniums
because they were a similar shape and size. |
 |
 |
The snorkeling here was
great and we saw many many different varieties of starfish of all
different colours and designs, they were some of the brightest ones I'd
ever seen so we couldn't resist lifting them out the water for a quick
photograph before we return them to their homes. |
| Whilst we were walking
the beach around the north tip of the island we stumbled across this
nest in plain sight on a rock on the beach. It was a seagull nest
and there were many nesting on this island. |

This colourful lizard
was a very brave fellow, he sat there for a long time whilst we took
photos of him. |
