White Point Marina is a gem. Still no wi-fi, but terrific people, a beautiful pool, easy access fuel dock and a starboard side tie-up. AND, the person who helped us made sure that we could open our starboard gate! Small things matter.
The day started out bright, hot and sparkling. As we headed farther north, the temps dipped a bit but the sparkle stayed. Along the way we noticed swarms of bait fish (actually, schools, but swarms seems to fit the action better) creating circles of ruffled water. My bet is that some predator fish was around and forced them into a protective ball — a murmuration! I won’t bore you with the scientific explanation of a murmuration but you’ve seen it when a flock of birds zig zags across the sky in a cloud of togetherness. Fish do the same thing.
This marina has an ancient looking boat launch.
Enough science. We are going out for Mexican food tonight in a loaner red pick-up truck! The man who helped us dock assured us that this restaurant serves REAL Mexican food — not a chain. His son-in-law is from LaPaz Mexico and vouches for it. We haven’t had any Mexican food other than a cheese quesadilla in the microwave with salsa which hardly counts.
Off to a bigger marina tomorrow. Wish me luck with adding photos to this post and last.
