The Bus to Bucarias….

We took a bus into Bucarias the other day for more provisions. This bus will also take us into Puerto Vallarta when we go, probably on Monday. Bucarias is a larger town east of La Cruz. It has a larger commercial center plus a major mall. The bus there was pretty nice, air conditioning, and only 8 pesos each. We did our grocery shopping and came back on an old bus with no air, no springs or shocks, no foam in the seats, and most importantly, no or at least very little in the way of brakes. Fortunatly, it was only about a 10 minute ride. We capped the day by going out for dinner with another cruiser couple who were left morning for Barra de Navidad. Many of the boats that were here when we came have left, and many more have arrived.

This morning we got up, had brekkie on the boat, then went day sailing across the bay. There were very few boats out there and it is a big bay. It was a little cloudy with a nice wind, sending us southwards towards Yelapa. (A palapa in Yelapa is better than a condo in Redondo) About half way there, the wind died, the sun came out, and it got pretty warm on the bay. We motored back and sat up in the lounge to cool down and sip a cold one, or two. Saw some whales at a distance blowing and splashing around. We also saw a turtle but did not get any photos.

Tomorrow, we might try our hand kayaking. There are some nice looking little inlets just west of here, that should have some very nice snorkeling and well as tiny secluded beaches.
