There is a lot to love about Puerto Los Gatos. I’ll let the pictures do the talking since I fear that my adjectives are getting pretty tired.

While this anchorage was incredibly gorgeous…it left a bit to be desired in the fishing department. You’ll see what I mean after watching this video.

It’s only fair to point out that Jeff did spear a fish earlier in the day while snorkeling…which attracted some denizens of the deep when he used it as bait. Though the denizens were not the kind you want to eat, unless you have a thing for possibly fatal delicacies.

We are Jeff and Harmony, a couple of Pacific Northwestern homebodies (hogareños) who decided to take our home, a 30 foot Nightingale sailboat named Serenity, and our fat lovable cat, on an adventure. We cruised around Mexico, Central America and the Pacific Ocean for about 3 years until the Pacific Northwest beckoned us back home.
