Trip Report Part 2
3-28 through 4-01-02
Our 3rd night we camped at a
beach called"Mesteno"
Sunset from Mesteno
Beautiful Little islands
appear out of nowhere as you paddle South. Some have small beaches, usually
on the South or the protected side.
The prevailing wind is N/NE/NW
with an overnight South wind, the
Coromuel
The cliffs turn pink as you paddle
South
Another beautiful sunset from
the Southern point of Espiritu our 4th and final camp spot
Punta Lupona
We came across many bones but
just took photos and respected the government's request not to take them
home.
Kipp tried to hold us up and
stay on the island longer! Tecolote Beach is in the background, 4.5 miles
across the channel. It took us 1-1/2 hours to cross with a 5-knot SE wind
neutralizing the beginning ebb, which Ben told us can reach 2 knots or
more.
Flying home, we spotted our next
Baja island adventure--Isla San Jose
We'll probably use sailboat
support to explore this island in Fall 2002
