| Lunch at beach palapa |
Great day! We snorkeled in the morning near the rocks at Playa Perula. This is some of the best diving we've had, except maybe our favorite snorkeling was at Isa Isabela. The visibility was maybe 30 ft. Not great, but not bad, either. We saw some spectacular wildlife! We saw the biggest blue moray eel I'd ever seen! It was so big, maybe 1 ft in diameter, don't know how long, but we saw enough to stay well away. It even scared Capt. Juan! He thought he'd drop a rock on it to scare it, but as we were above his den and he moved a little as we swam over, he decided to leave well enough alone! We saw lots of beautiful colored fish, green and fan corals, a black sea snake and even had those little "pickers"fish come by and pick at your body...creepy! Beautiful rocks and water. Wish I had an underwater camera!
Back to town for supplies and lunch at the beach palapa. I wish I knew the name to recommend it, but it's on the same street on the beach front from the Scuba Jazz Cafe... anyway, we both had great shrimp vera cruz, while watching whole families arrive for a Sunday afternoon at the beach at this locals favorite restaurant.

Next we stopped by the cervezaria for supplies.... and wheeled it back to the boat. We stopped to talk for an hour with a couple of scuba divers, Keith and Fox, who had just finished diving the island Isla Pajarera here in Bahia Chamela. They said "you should've been here in December...80ft visibility!" Wow. These two are repeat vacationers from Denton island in British Columbia and who have been traveling and diving all over. Fox had sailed in past years to the South Pacific and New Zealand, so we had to hear his stories!

We've decided we have seen all there is to see here in Perula and are preparing to depart this afternoon for the overnight passage up the coast and around Pt. Cabo Corriantes.
Wish us fair winds!
