Carizal to Manzanillo

The next day we pulled anchor and motored the short hop to Manzanillo. We turned the helm over to Captain Taya who guided us safely into a nice anchorage off Las Hadas which is on a small peninsula that divides the bay.

Google maps calls the small peninsula ‘Condominios La Punta’ and it is full of huge vacation homes.

We took a dinghy ride to the beach intending to snorkel but found the visibility REALLY poor. When launching the dinghy from the beach, the surf was a bit challenging – and then I misplaced the motor key and had a bit of a panic, worried about the surf pushing us back ashore or into the rocks. But I eventually found the key and got us back to Calista for drinks and a relaxing evening.
