Having a whale of a time

Friday March 20

Left Puerto Vallarta by 8:30am, sailed out the bay, winds started around 6 knots and built to 15-20 by late afternoon. In the bay we was a couple of whales as well as a large school of rays surfing near the surface in the waves. The water was full of red tide or red algae.

We anchored at the Punta Mira peninsula, near the town of Corral del Risco. The peninsula is populated with several resorts and a golf course. About 2000 people live in the town. They dedicate most of their economic activity to fishing and tourism.

For dinner Joy and I made smoked salmon over rice with sautéed black beans, bell pepper, onion, fresh raw tomatoes topped with shredded Parmesan cheese.
