Bahia San Padro; Fri 4-18&19

Good sail downwind to Bahia San Padro. Really quiet finally. Several families camping along one side of the bay; so far no loud music. Overcast skies most of the way up but once anchored we had to put up the sunshade. Dingy-ed onto and then combed the beach. Not much shelling, but far up on the dunes we found hundreds of the 'button' shells we looked for during our trip last year. Couldn't stop picking them up! No paper nautilus' -rats.

Warmed up (especially Ed after the row back out to the boat) we decided it was time for a swim. Burrrr..I wasn't in for long! Water has yet to warm up. Got in a kayak & some fishing.  Dolphin and sealion sitings and the usual seabirds; Brown Pelican, Magnificent Frigatebird, Brown Booby, Black Skimmer, Laughing Gull, Tricolored Heron and a small gull I call a 'screamer' that does not appear to be identified in my pocket guide; small, all white, short bent-winged.  Heard on the radio that someone spotted whales - but not us...bummer.
