Sailing in the Sea of Cortez
Here is a picture of the boat we went sailing on. It belongs to friends Rick and Wendy from San Felipe. We spent a week with them aboard this 42' sailboat, cruising the Sea of Cortez and anchoring in beautiful bays.

The 'Williwaw' anchored at Peurto Escondito

Here we are at the fuel dock before leaving Peurto Escondito for our sail.


Hoisting the jib







The first little cove we anchored in was called Honeymoon Bay. As you can see it is a lovely little secluded bay. The water was nice and warm, and Michel and I went swimming while Rick and Wendy went scuba diving. Had a good time, except there were all kinds of little jelly fish also swimming around, and they like to nibble.... These two photos show the boat anchored at Honeymoon Bay





























Michel snorkeling at Candeleros Chicos.













Candeleros Chicos - the second cove we anchored in. Michel said the snorkeling was the best at this cove.














At sea -



















Last but not least - Agua Verde (Green Water) We anchored here for two nights.
Everyone (except me) went snorkeling. I went into the water on the first day and floated about on my 'noodle', but I'm not much for ocean swimming. But this was an absolutely beautiful cove as you can see by the pictures.
