Bahia Ballena

For the folks in Ballena Isle Marina - yes there is another Ballena Bay - it Is just around Punta Abreojos. The Spanish words "abre ojos" mean "open the eyes" and is a reference to the nasty rocks - called Roca Ballena - just offshore and the dangerous shoals near this point.

Again we departed Bahia Asuncion at dawn and found a perfectly flat sea and no wind at all. Motoring again, but the weather was very fine and the coastline dramatic. Because this was a short leg, we arrived early in the afternoon and had time to relax and enjoy the scenery. There were a dozen or so fishing boats along the coast on this leg, and two were anchored with us in Bahia Ballena. Why does the picture I took of them remind me of the movie Waterworld?

The sunset here was so spectacular, I had to show you two pictures of it.
