We left Paradise Marina on January 7 and headed south to Ipala, a
cove about 43 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. Managed to hit a rather large Manta ray on
the way out. No damage to boat or ray! Anchored in Ipala and Chuck
managed to fix a local panga fisherman's broken throttle. Lots of
points with the locals. Moved on the next day to Chamela which is
about 50 miles south of Ipala. No wind so we motored the whole way.
Nice anchorage on the north side of the bay. I attempted to
ride the surf into the beach with less then successful results! Our
next stop was Cayeres, a lovely bay about 28 miles southeast of
Chamela. There are many houses and condos in Cayeres, all painted a
variety of reds, yellows, oranges, purples, etc. Very colorful.
There is a Club Med in the north cove and a nice hotel, the Bel Air,
in the south cove.
