Was hard to believe it is Winter!  What a beautiful day!

S. Avanti and crew explored part of the backside of Santa Cruz Island

"Water, water everywhere......"

 

 

 

Valley Anchorage, a great place to stop for lunch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coches Prietos (Black Pig in Spanish) a pretty cresent shaped anchorage.  The wild pigs on the Island used to come down and rout on the beach in the evenings here. A good anchorage as long as there is no South swell.

 

 

 

 

 

Some Wildlife!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We see some unusual things out here! This is a hugh flock of Seagulls working the small fish that Dolphins have herded to the surface

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Now, here's a couple of "rare" birds indeed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

          

 

Albert's Anchorage.  There is a nice reef just offshore, just perfect for snorkeling or diving

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part of Albert's is comprised of  rough rock outcrops. Our photographer likes rocks!

 

 

  

 

 

 

The beauty is such here, that sometimes you almost get a religious feeling!

 

 

A Northbound Freighter passes our stern as we leave the Island and head home
