Sunday January 23, 2022, Chamela to Tenacatita

Up late, breakfast and slowly underway. We planned to only go about 8 or 9 miles to the south and anchor at Punta Paraiso. But when we got there, it was pretty small and there was a big power boat in the middle of it, which about took up the whole space. So, we went with our second choice, Tenacatita. Which was about 20 miles further south. We anchored at about 5 pm, after watching a couple of whales play where we wanted to anchor. We made two failed attempts to anchor and finally moved down the beach. This is a fairly large anchorage, which is a good thing as there are at least 35 boats here now, and we saw two other boats behind us coming this way. We are planning to stay here either two nights or three. We will see what happens. It is less than 20 miles from here to Barra de Navidad, so it won’t take long to get there. On our way here today, we saw a few turtles, but no whales or dolphin until we got here.

These were the sailboats at anchor at Tenacatita
Note that where the boats are there are virtually no services ashore.
