Most of the spots we are visiting this year are a repeat of last year and Isla Coronado was one of our favorites so here we are again. We came south from San Juanico on Saturday with plans for provisioning in Loreto and maybe brunch at La Mision where we had eaten last year with John and Gilly on Destiny. The eggs Benedict did not disappoint however the vegetables at the local market left a great deal to be desired. I will just have to adjust to cabbage and carrots instead of romaine lettuce and tomatoes for our salad until we get back to Mazatlan.
The water is so clear here that you can really enjoy walking along the waters edge. We are only seven miles from Loreto but it feels like you are miles from any civilization. Sea Gulls pierced the silence if we got anywhere near a nest and even began dive bombing us the further we went ashore.
The boats look very small on the horizon but they really aren't that far off. There are eight boats here today but tomorrow could see an entire new group arrive. This is a very favorite anchorage as there is internet and cell phone reception!

| If you look closely you will see two baby sea gull chicks. Mother had them well hidden under driftwood and behind the carcas of a dried out puffer fish. We only spotted them after the gulls started dive bombing us so we knew something was close that we should not see. |
We haven't seen a lot of crabs until our walk this morning and this one was so colorful that he just begged to have his picture taken. He was actually fairly large too, his body was about 4 inches across.

| Rog had to take precautions to make sure that the gulls did not make off with his hat. |

| When all else failed they straiffed him! |
