On December 16, 2009 we pulled up anchor and headed for the "big bay." It was going to take us about 9 hours to get from Matanchen Bay to La Cruz in Banderas Bay, the place we planned to drop anchor for the night so we decided to get an early start and leave Matanchen Bay by 7:00. We actually did better than then and left at about 6:30 just as the sun was starting to show signs of rising over the hills that surround the bay. We all agreed that we would be coming back here.
Our trip south was uneventful but for all the whales we saw. Kelly saw the best of all a humpback that was breaching. The rest of us only saw it as it was already on its way back into the water. We arrived at La Cruz at about 3:30 and set the anchor. As soon as the anchor was set we all jumped into Banderas Bay. It is amazing how much saltier the water tastes down here.
Tomorrow we check into Paradise Village. We get to buy groceries, get rid of our garbage, fill up the water tanks, and most important, do the laundry.
