Yelapa - Just across Banderas Bay from La Cruz

Florie's first day sailing!


I'm on Aquadesiac in the background.  Doug likes his new found friend

Florie being very brave indeed

Now that's an interesting hair extension
Our first stop was a little town called Yelapa just across the bay. Only accessible by boat or trail, yet still many tourist there.  It was a very steep anchorage so we anchored bow and stern on a real steep slope.  Since we were not planning on staying long we did not put the dinghy in the water.  Doug, Leo and Florie swam into the town to sample the local watering hole.  They make moonshine here.  I opted for staying on anchor watch and having a club soda.  I was nice and dry.  Doug and Florie managed a water taxi ride back to the boat but still had the effects of the moonshine the next morning.  Leo swam back to the boat sometime during the night.  We were awakened at sunrise the next morning by the anchor alarm announcing that the stern anchor had let go.  Guess it was time to continue our journey South, hangovers and all.
