Bee atttack!

We are back at "The Hook", an anchorage at Isla San Francisco. We were here a few weeks ago before we headed south to La Paz. We left La Paz so that Cindy could do here net from a more conducive location. We headed out to Balandra Cove for a few nights, then back to La Paz to wrap up our taxes. While there I checked our fuel tank and found some black crud in them. I was not convinced I was able to get it all out so we decided to get the fuel polished (cleaned by chemicals and repeated filtering).
To do this we had to go to a marina, we did not want to pay for moorage, but lots of fresh water and electricity sounded good. We did get the fuel polished, though it did not seem that it pulled out too much crud. I hope that means that I wsa able to get most of it myself. Since the alternative is that we wasted our time and money. Unfortunately while we were at the dock the water was off for repairs, they kept saying it would be on soon! Finally a few hours before we were leaving they agreed to
turn the water on for one hour! We hurriedly filled the tanks and rinsed off the boat. We were mostly done before the water was turned back off.
We left La Paz and headed back to Balandra Cove, but a night of 45 knot winds convinced us to move to a new anchorage. We moved up to Caleta Partida, a large cove between Isla Espiritu Santos and Isla Partida. We spent a few days here exploring in the dinghy and visiting our friends Greg and Nancy on "Festima Lente". We tried to go to a cove on the north end of the island called El Embudo. This turned out to be a small cove with just room for one boat, a sandy beach and clear water. Looked like a
great place to have all to ourselves. However we were not alone, as we started to anchor we were swarmed by a group of bees! We managed to get the hook down while swatting bees left and right. After taking out a few dozen there were less but still enough to be annoying. We have been told they are often after fresh water, and if they find some and tell the rest of the nest, they all come out to visit. We realized this was not going to be a tranquil stay and decided to head further north, back to Isla
San Francisco. Disappointing to leave such a pretty spot, but better to leave while we were ahead.
