What happened to Puerto Escondido...

...the surfers'paradise? Well, Zephyr HAD to surf, of courses, and we wanted to visit our old friend Dan from the Sunshine Coast who has built a little paradise, a sweet hotel, on the mountain over the beautiful beach of Puerto Escondido. But the anchorage was so bad, too close to the beach for confort, big surf, rocks, numerous pongas, an underwater deep canyon right to the beach, salsa dancing all night, thunderstorm, fire works...that we left the next day though the weather predictions were rather bad and we got tossed around, washing machine effect, allnight long until we reached Huatulco. NN! (Not Nice). On the way, we passed many little birds hitchiking a ride on the backs of big sea turtles. Rather cute. Oh! The big fish is a marlin.
