Bandaras Bay again

 I'm back in Punta Mita, which is near Puerto Vallarta.  

I took some photos of the last trip from La Paz to here, but sadly they are in reverse order.  Oh well.  First off, there is a remote island which will be unnamed, and upon this island there are some cool creatures, here's a green iguana...

and a hare

And there is a surf wave.  I surfed this wave a few times and it was really good.  Its a fast right.

It barrels, and I was able to get into some a little bit.

I managed a nice top turn once

and a great bottom turn.  My friend Teague was taking pictures for me.  

A broader view.

The wind was offshore but also a bit side, so there is a bit of side chop in the lip.

From the side view...

I saw a lizard eat another one.  It ate it whole and the tail was still wiggling as it went down.

poor little thing.

Aquila anchored after the successful crossing of the sea

a sunset at sea.  We had two of these, but made it in about 37 hours.  From noon to 1am.  

When we were leaving La Paz there was a peregrine falcon that landed on the boat to wish me a speedy journey, I am sure.  It was nice.  I had been contemplating naming the boat Peregrine once upon a time.  

So what's next?  Teague flies out in a few days, then I have about a week before my brother Jeremy comes to visit, then we go for a week long trip and then back here for about 5 weeks and then I sail over to La Paz again.
