Anchored in Melaque, video and shrimp boats in Chamela Bay video.- 2013

Beginning of January 2013 - When we were in Chamela Bay (Perula Bay)

Here is a video of Melaque. After a week or so we up anchored bow and stern and went to the Barra-Bahia de Navidad lagoon a dropped anchor. 

While we were in Chamela  Bay, a bunch, about a dozen to fourteen shrimp boats came in one after the other. Hmmm what’s up? It was the holidays and they stayed for about a week.

  There were a few of us at anchor in Chamela bay at the time and we all went to figuring out what was going on. We asked the locals who had no idea really.

The kids said there was lots of shrimp but that made no sense or they would be out shrimping.

One cruisers said they were from Mazatlán and there was bad weather so they were waiting it out. Well the weather was not that bad and Mazatlán  is a long enough way off. It sounded good though.

One local said it was the moon phase and they were waiting for a full moon. Hmm

So we never found out but you could pick one :) or make up your own!
