20.5N 105.3W. Quimixto, Jalisco, Mexico.
In between anchorings at the point at Punta de Mita, we wanted to check out a bit more of Bahia de Banderas, so once the northerly winds backed we crossed over to the south side of the bay from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle to see what there was to see. Because of its remoteness and, in some cases, lack of road access, the south bay is still wrapped in untouched rain forest. It reminded us so much of parts of Central America…we started to think that...maybe...we should head south again. What roadway there is on this side of the bay, ends just the other side of Quimixto so it is accessed only by boat. Very charming…but the surf was too rough for a dinghy landing and the dock is made for hard pangas and large boats only … so we decided to BBQ a filet and mushroom dinner in the cockpit and just sit back and enjoy the surf and scene. No complaints.
