Nixon nose point, San Juanico, Steve and Susan, Power Boat friends


 Doesn't this look like Nixon's profile? this year, the winds were out of the South, so we bypassed the beautiful San Juanico coves we normally anchor at, for La Ramada, on the north side with good protection from the strong southwest winds.  We met Steve and Susan while hiking to the main cove, and shared dinner and cocktails on board several times.  One of the other cruisers in La Ramada had harvested several chocolate clams and hosted everyone for a great clam bake.  We orignally planned to hold it on the beach but the winds were too strong, so we gathered on another Cal 246 like ours, for cocktails and clams. We hung out with Steve and Susan and enjoyed cocktails and dinner on each other's boats all the way to San Carlos. Power Boats have more room for their length, but don't do well in a wind or anything more than moderate seas.  Steve and Susan delayed crossing to the mainland until early morning when the wind and seas were calmer.
