Caleta de Campos anchorage

Sunset under sail
Jan tugboating Cuervo into Las Hadas
We've started back north. We anchored at Isla Grande for one night, and on 3/2, it was off to Caleta de Campos.
We made it up the coast to Caleta de Campos just before sunset, and at dark two fishermen came and said we needed to move our boat so our chain didn't wrap around a rock or their fishing nets, and lead us into the darkness, but we managed.
Off to Behia de Maruata. A beach with heavy surf. We arrived and dropped the hook just before about 4:00 p.m. and rocked and rolled so bad that a couple of hours after we anchored we decided to pull up the hook and head out, but less than an hour later our diesel quit, so it was back to the crappy anchorage. Dave worked on the motor the next day so we could get the heck out of there. We ended up leaving at 7:00 a.m. and about an hour later the diesel quit again, but instead of going back to Maruata, we sailed day and night until we made it to Manzanillo Bay commercial shipping lanes, and then the wind just stopped. Dave and I dropped the sails and threw the Porta-bote together, put on the outboard motor, and within 15 minutes Jan was tugboating Cuervo into our next anchorage about 7 miles away. Ahhhh, we made it and Dave got everything fixed so we were ready to leave the following week from Las Hadas.
