We left Santa Rosalia (1015 am) for Island San Marcos…~20 mi away. We parked in Sweet Pea Cove (1230 pm). This cove is on the NW side of the island. It looks like a fabulous place to snorkel but thinking the water is too cold, we didn’t go in. We relaxed and enjoyed a wonderful tamale dinner (tamales from the Con Juanito market, in Santa Rosalia). They are so good…explains why they sell out by 8:30 am each morning. After trying twice to get them in the afternoon, the shopkeeper said he’d hold some for me. I bought 4 early on Monday.
At dusk I went on deck to put out the Lucy lights and pick up my bait. There was a fish on my hook! It wasn’t more than 7-8” long and at dark I was in no mood to filet it. Neil helped me remove the hook and throw it back.
