Mar 31-Apr 1: Honeymoon cove - and young cruisers!

One of the coves of "Honeymoon Cove" at Danzante island

We're making our way north again.  After leaving Los Gatos, we stopped by Puerto EsconGRINGO (Escondido) to top up on gas, water and beer.  We then headed a few miles away to an dreamlike spot known as Honeymoon cove.

Once again, this place has it all.  Small secluded coves, good fishing, clear waters, and even nicely maintained hiking trails.  We spent the next day lounging, and recreating around the anchorage.

Then that afternoon a boat pulled in, we were no longer alone.  But when we got a better look it was ok, the other boat had four people aboard - all of them twenty-somethings!

Naturally we had to invite them over for drinks, and then they invited us over to make fish tacos.  Turns out they were two couples cruising for a couple of months together.  Familiar story, reminding us of Sound Discovery and Emma Belle.

Then they started recounting stories that they'd heard from other young cruisers, for instance one that about a couple of guys who bought a possibly haunted Junk off an old Nazi's estate in La Paz.  They got it cheap because he passed away while aboard.

This story sounded familiar, and we realize that those guys had crewed down to La Paz with Pam and Eric aboard Emma Belle.  We'd heard the same story from them! 

As the evening progressed, we realized that we had met all the same young cruisers: the aforementioned couples as well as the ladies aboard Purusha in Santa Rosalia.

There are so few of us young'uns down here that we can't help but meet each other.  We certainly have a natural affinity for each other.

Tomorrow we head to Bahia Salinas on Isla Carmen.   So do they, looks like we might buddy-boat for a little while, how social!
