This little bay is by far the most beautiful bay we saw. We anchored for 2 days waiting for the winds to drop a little. The anchorage is expose to the south and the west, which cause it to be a bit rolly. It is protected from the north and the east where most of the bad weather comes from. During the nights the winds shift offshore so that the rolling is more of a up and down motion and not the side to side rolling.
The town is very clean, the buildings are maintained and no garbage. It is mostly a fishing town with a surfer feeling to it. There are lots of little shops, restaurants and a big super market.
We walked past a weaving shop where they make the most beautiful fabric. The gentleman operating one of the machines allowed us to video tape while he was working. This was very interesting. Make you appreciate the effort they put into their fabric, especially when they use different colour threats and patterns like on the video (will post the video at the next port). The weaving machines are made of wood.
During our sailing we saw lots of flying fish. They dart out of the water and skim the surface of the water for a considerable distance. I presume they are being chase by other fish.
We added 1 more stop (Puerto Angel) to our route to Huatulco, it was recommended by our friends Sylvie and David on S/V Puddytat. A small little bay and just as picturesque as Escondido Bay. It is just 24 nm east of Huatulco.
