December 16th, Agua Verde to Puerto Los Gatos, 18 nm, 3hrs

No wind, flat seas



Beautiful day, nice and hot and sunny, we caught our first dorado!!  And I made  bread on the way!!   S/V Southern Cross called on on the radio as they were arriving Agua Verde and we were leaving.  We met them earlier in San Juanico.  When we arrived Los Gatos no one was there, first time we came to a anchorage with no one.  We saw hundreds of pelicans fishing (diving) along the shore so we decided we should go fish too.  After a couple of runs along the beach we had several bites and caught a rooster fish, they are beautiful, with a fan/peacock fin on top.  We then went to the beach to see if we could find any lobster in the tide pools. Last time we were here we saw two that we could of grabbed, but didn’t dare do it.  Its illegal to get any type of shell fish unless you buy it and the last time a jerk sailor was here so we left the lobsters  where they were.  After exploring the beach we didn’t see any lobster this time, we continued to explore the beach then headed back to the  boat.  Seahorse arrived and Cam was fishing, then a panga guy came up, the same one that we saw here 1.5years ago.  He had lobsters, fish and placemats for sale, we bought 10 lobsters for 300 pesos (about 25 bucks).  We had lobster and fish for dinner, awesome!
