Well, now, our crossing to Puerto Vallarta was MUCH better than the last time! We inched our way down from La Paz and finally jumped off at Frailes on Dec. 5, headed for Isla Isabela and the frigate bird sanctuary. We watched playful, huge dolphins off our bow, and a beautiful sunset and sunrise.By 2 PM Dec. 6 we pulled near the small bay and saw SIX boats already anchored, with breakers on the east side and shallows on the west side. SO, Alice took photos of the island and the zillions of birds flying about and then we headed south, promising to try a visit sometime in the future... Only one problem: if we continued to travel at the same rate we would arrive at Banderas Bay, home of PV, in the middle of the night! Captain Bill made some speed and navigational adjustments and we poked along, arriving at Bahia de Banderas about 9 AM. We called our friends who were already there and followed their directions across this huge bay, seeing spouting whales in the process. After 50 hours of straight travel we were safely anchored!
