I spent a few weeks anchored of the main town at Melaque. Its a working town but very liveable. I even got to fly home for a week while I left the boat at anchor. Again 2 anchors are needed as the swell wraps around the point at the entrance to the bay.

You can get most things in Melaque, they have Banks and hardware stores, something for everyone. The town is very busy and popular with Canadians seeking sun during the winter season.
I had been reading about the lagoon at Barra for some time and took the dinghy across the bay to visit the town. Eventually I took the boat across and anchored in the lagoon, little did I know what I had started.
Casting off from San Francisco, this is the blog of my 2010 voyage south in a Catalina 42 MKII.
In addition to the log entries, check the tabs below for information about the boat and my plans.
