We went to the beach at the arches on the point for Cabo San Lucas. Wow! What a crowd! I don’t mean the people, the water taxi’s had a steady stream of 2 or 3 boats dropping off and picking up all morning. The designated swimming area is pretty small, has a sand bottom and a roped off area to keep the swimmers in it. Outside of that area is where the glass bottom boats go to take those who pay for it to see the fish around the rocks. But it was still pretty nice. Of course I lost my keys, they were on a float, so one of the boat drivers picked them up. Took about a half hour of waiting for them to come back around once I figured out what happened, and talked to someone who knew who had them. Anyway it ended pretty good.
Later we went into town to check out, mail a package and get dinner. The six of us crowded into our dinghy and headed ashore. Once we were ashore, Renee’ headed to the post office, and I headed to the port captain to check out. Got almost everything done and then he asked for … the document that shows we don’t owe anything. Normally if you go to a marina, you get it from them, but we are anchored out, so I had to go to the Port Administration office. Good news: the Port Captain closes at 8:30, bad news the Port Administration office closes at 4pm, and is about a half hour walk from the Port Captain. Worse news: it was 4 pm almost exactly when I got there. Yup, we will be back when they open at 9 am tomorrow.
So, off to dinner. We (Renee’ and I) found a nice fish restaurant a couple of blocks off the main drag, and had shrimp cocktail, and then lobster and scallops and Renee’ and a marlin quesadilla, with Modelo Negra. Which I don’t thin we have found at a restaurant or store since Ensenada.
Finally everyone back together again and off to the boats in the dark. Found out that that our handheld VHF radio has a light feature that allowed us to have a light for the way back to the boats.
We have reservations in San Jose Del Cabo for a slip for a couple of nights starting tomorrow. That will be different, as we have not been in a slip since Ensenada about 6 weeks ago.
