This is my favorite. I'll bet you've never done this.

() Not San Blas but the Mexican Gold Coast. The anchorage at Chicala just south of PV. When we left the entire coast was off by more than a mile. It's better now but there's nothing like sailing through 'Jungle Covered Hillsides'. Not a big deal though as just north of PV is a point, Punta Mita that has a golf course on it. We sailed the golf course just to get our feet wet. When we were able to do that we went for the Jungle Covered Hillsides.
It's all fun.
