Pulling in to Playa Candelero, there were a few boats (two Island Packets; Julie and Kevin from Tacoma and a boat flying Mexico flag) already anchored, however it is a large bay with a reef in the middle. First we anchored slightly outside, but soon I decided to move the boat as it seemed rolley. i moved it to inside the island and the reef. The reef was a concern, however with the use of Navionics I could keep an eye on Sarantium’s distance to the reef at all times. I also decided to dive down (only 3.5 meters) to make sure the anchor was securely set and dragging was out of the question…..it seemed fine and anchor had dug into the soft sand and was mostly buried. I also swam over to the little island to get a solid idea of how far Sarantium actually was situated from the reef.
On the above pic, the yellow underneath Sarantium is the tracking (and constantly measuring) proximity) of movement of the boat throughout the night.
