Anchored in La Cruz anchorage - The other day we did errands Zaragoza’s, Mega, Global Gas etc. - 2014

End of January 2014 - s\v Elegant'sea is currently in La Cruz anchorage in Banderas Bay Mexico (across the bay from Puerto Vallarta)

We first of course dinghy-ed in. On the way we stopped at Capt Ron Browns Islander Freeport 36’ and took a couple pictures. He was rowing in in his dinghy so we stopped and talked. Ron said he is getting insurance money for the damage and would be getting all new gear. Then we ran by the other Freeport, a Islander Freeport 41’ motor sailor in the anchorage. Took a couple pictures and then ran over to Pam and Eric on S\V Pied-a-Mer III  and picked up Pam as Eric was ashore already.
We then all rode in the Ka(ford) to Starbucks in Paradise Village Marina where we meet up with Sebastian for the kayak racks. He took the order and measurements and then we gave Pam And Eric a ride to the doctors and we continued into on our way to Global Gas to get propane filled. This time the composite tank came in handy as it was easy to carry to and from the Ka.

 Then off to Zaragoza’s Marine for a new snorkel because I lot mine in the water cleaning the bottom. We also picked up a 2.5\10 L gas can for the generator and dinghy gas backup, more varnish and a couple other things I forget.

Then off to the doctor and then back to the nutritionist at the IMSS clinic.

Then on the way back we stopped at the new Starbucks on the highway (also a drive through) to get some WiFi.

Then on to Mega (grocery store) and then back to load up a dock cart and then the dinghy and then transfer that to the boat. That all was tiring. We were going to sail to Punta De Mita  in Banderas Bay and anchor for a week or so the next day but the weather predicted a south wind. Punta De Mita in Banderas Bay does not do well in a south swell. We were tired from all the running around so we are staying put till the south wind fades in a day or so.

So no more of these multiple errand days. A couple big errands at a time is all we want to handle.

The La Cruz anchorage where we are is lumpy today with the winds picking up here in La Cruz . We have been anchored here over a month now and it is nice to out in the bay.
