Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Playa Hermosa - Our Last Afternoon & Evening...

Drove to the next beach North of Cocos, "Playa Hermosa" to try something new.








I read about a few hotels in the guidebooks, and three sounded fine. We ended up at the first one, El Velero Hotel because it was easy and we could get out of the car!






The rooms were fine and had some beautiful woodwork on the ceilings. The rooms were HOT though as they were on the second floor and the air conditioning had been off all day. Quick cold showers solved that problem...




Then the crowbar corkscrew trick of Jim's...













And the last of the mystery bags! Jim got to open several (again, these were not going back home with me, except for the one for our anniversary - a week later)!








His last card...








We had our snacks, including these peanuts.
I liked the guy on the bag.








Alan had his "bar-to-go" that made it down to the beach and back up to our room.

The last of our money...







The view of the courtyard on the first floor from where we were on the second floor.






These fabric wall hangings were all along the open air hallway. They included Volcan Arenal and several with frogs!







We walked down to the beach for our last view of the ocean, then back into the restaurant for dinner. This is looking into the restaurant area from the beach.
Once again, a great meal! I had mahi mahi.



Can't remember what Jim had...



And Alan had surf and turf.





We had wireless internet connection, so we checked our emails and made a few skype calls. This is how ridiculous we look talking through the internet in a restaurant... Jim talked and I played with this big dog who actually lives next door to the hotel. He was pretty smart to hang out where food gets dropped!





Then off to bed, as we had an early flight the next day...
