We left San Juanico for Ballandra Cove on Isla Carmen, a beautiful Island just off the east coast of Baja abeam Lorreto. The first photo shows the narrow entrance which opens into a big bay with a long white sand beach. The second shows Iron Rose anchored of the northern entrance. Although there were a dozen boats anchored, the beach was pretty deserted as you can see in the 3d photo. We met a few other couples ashore, Steve and Charlotte of Simple Pleasure, a Catalina 27, and Murray and Cindy of Valhalla, a 38 foot sloop. They joined us for cocktails and filled us in on the repair opportunity for the 15 horse in Puerto Escandido, our next stop. Sadly, we did not h
enough time to hike inland on the island, but it certainly looks inviting. The water was unusally clear, and we kayaked and dove for a couple of days before departing for Escandido. We were contacted by our friends Jim and Chris of La Ballona on the Amigo Net (a morning cruisers net on the Ham Radio) and plan to meet them in Escandido for Lorettofest.
