Roca Solitaria marks the entrance to Bahia Agua Verde, a beutiful big sheltered bay, reminiscent of Lake Powell, with it's surrounding mountains, and structures in the bay, like Gunsight and Padre Bay on Powell. This is the only place where we have had dolphins surf the bow wake on our dingy, which has happened on two different visits. On the first, our son Jon was able to put on a mask and dive in before I could get the dinghy motor shut down. The dolphins sounded at once. We anchored in the south cove this time in the lee of the small rock island in the second photo. We met Christian who was crewing on a friends yawl which they sailed into the ancorage on a light breeze
he convinced us to stop at Los Gatos (the next series of photos). As usual, we enjoyed the sunset. The Agua Verde Yacht Club, an informal group of cruisers was founded here. There is a small tienda a couple of miles up the road that serves the small village that we visited when we were first here in 1996. One of the best books about Baja, The King of the Moon was written about this area. Always a pleasure to visit.
