May 20 – 23, 2013 Coyote, Concepcion Bay

 After climbing the hill at El Burro, we moved the boats 3 miles into the bay to Playa Coyote. This is the anchorage where we have always seen whale sharks and they were here everyday. We spent a lot of time hanging around with them. Chip from ‘Miss Teak’ and Michael from ‘Milagro’ swam with them.

It was Monday, so we all went to ‘Moontide Monday’. This is a pot luck on the catamaran ‘Moontide’. There were at least 18 people aboard, we even made it into ‘Lectronic Latitudes’. You can see it here. http://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/lectronicday.lasso?date=2013-05-22#Story5
Even Geary, our trusted weather guru of the Sea of Cortez came to the party.

The next morning, Judy, Michael, Rick and I decided to hitch a ride to the nearest town, Mulege. We hung out on Highway 1 for about a half hour before a truck stopped. Keith, Dena and Kelly had been to El Burro to get Kelly’s stingray bite looked at. They gave us a ride to their house in Posada and then into Mulege. We couldn’t believe it when they said they lived in Manteca just off Austin Road. What a small world! While we were in Mulege, we used the internet and phone, then had lunch at Danny’s Taco stand.  Keith gave us a ride all the way back to our dinghies. Great people.
