We decided to take a day trip over to Yelopa but no one knew exactly where it was. It did not show up on the E120 charts at all so we headed blindly out to sea this morning. We did have Charlie's Charts and it gave us a waypoint so we did have some idea of where we were going. Bill, Scott and Rog discussed our options and settled on the waypoints in the book.
While the guys on the back were plotting our course we sat on the bow of the boat keeping a lookout for whales. We did see several off in the distance but nothing up close. Hammock time was enjoyed by Cindy.
As we entered the bay we were pleasantly surprised to be met by a ponga that took us directly to a mooring ball and then loaded us up for the trip ashore. That sure beat trying to get eight adults in a six person dingy.
Rog met a new friend
We decided a toast was necessary to all our friends back home braving the cold snap. We have heard stories or 45 degree highs for the day. Not what we are seeing down here. We wake up to 72 degrees in the morning and highs of 85 during the day. And the air conditioning is working beautifully right now.
We did head over to the waterfalls but only made it part way. The stairs were just too much for my knee!! But we did get far enough to take beautiful pictures
Those of you who know Rog very well can tell from this picture that one of his favorite songs is playing on our stereo. I think it was something from the sound track to Love Actually. What a perfect end to a beautiful day, singing Christmas carols while sailing in Mexico with good friends on Di's Dream. The girls all all taking tomorrow off to go to the spa so that the guys can go run around the bay on jet skies. We are just trying to keep them happy.
