We got in to Chacala yesterday afternoon and took these pictures right after we got the anchor set. This is our view.
We're anchored about 75 yards off the beach.
We're sitting (as I post this) underneath one of these thatched roofs.
This is a very nice little cove, but somewhat exposed to West and Southwest, so there’s a good swell coming in with up to four foot waves breaking on the beach. We put out a stern anchor to keep Charisma pointed into the swell even when the wind shifts. Worked great last night when the wind shifted, as the other boats in the cove rolled like crazy as they got turned sideways to the swell. Today is grey with a threat of rain, so we’re just sitting and catching up on stuff. The hope is that tomorrow will be sunny and if so, we’ll do some exploring-always nicer with blue skies instead of grey.
