Paraiso Found

Onward we moved down the Pacific coast of Mexico. We stopped for the day and a night at Paraiso, a small anchorage nestled between large rocky islets with abundant sea caves and rocky reefs. We shared the anchorage with one other cruising boat along the shore of a beautiful beach. Snorkeling was good along the rocks in the areas where there was not too much surge from the ocean waves. An abundance of fish and spiny urchins dotted the rocky shoreline. Chris and I took the dinghy to explore the islets and found a nesting ground for the beautiful Frigate birds with their six foot wingspan. A variety of other marine bird species shared the islet including herons. It was a fabulous day of exploration!
