We have been thoroughly enjoying our trip in the sea of cortez, and it keeps getting better. Isla Danzante is one of the five islands that make up Islas de Golfo group, which is protected as a National Maritime Park. Honeymoon Cove, one popular anchorage on Isla Danzente, was a much anticipated stop.  As we pulled into Honeymoon Cove late afternoon yesterday, our eyes widened. It is absolutely gorgeous. A secluded cove with three lobes, providing excellent wind and wave protection from N, E, S. Turquoise water, sandy beaches, with dramatic mountains in the background, “Honeymoon” is surely a deserved name for her.

Gray matter sitting in the mid lobe, has the cove all by herself.

The north lobe is beautiful but a bit small for Gray Matter.

It was later occupied by a couple — kayak camping.

Hiking with giant Cactus on the island.

Good 3G signal on the top of the island — uploading the blog.
