Los Frailes is a beautiful anchorage where we spent two nights. It is famous for it’s protection from the northerly winds and for the snorkeling. We were happy to have the rest and our first full day was spent doing just that. It was still was pretty windy and so going to shore was not all that inviting to us. I enjoyed two long naps that day.

On our second day there, we inflated the dinghy and went to shore. Here are some photos of that day.
The beach where people snorkel is over some reefs below this mountain. The water was a mere 70 degrees if that. I am sorry to say, normally my New England blood would’ve loved that, but I’ve gotten used to 80 degree water. We used our shorties and after 45 minutes I was ready to call it quits. We did see some pretty fish and schools of fish swimming among the coral and rocks.
Dan and I hiked up a sand dune and discovered a pond on the back side.
The birds like to follow the fisherman for some easy food. Peligans, frigat birds, & seagulls all hung around waiting for the handout.
A number of camping vehicles, tents etc were scattered over the area.
And here Malo sits in this quiet anchorage. We will leave for Bahía de Los Muertos during the late afternoon for an overnight passage.
