There are reasons why Agua Verde is such a popular cruising destination. Opportunities abound for swimming, snorkeling, paddling, and fishing. The seashell enthusiast has a selection of beaches with good collecting potential. The fishing village of Agua Verde welcomes you to look around; maybe you could bring some basic supplies for their school while you explore. There are plenty of roads and trails outside the village on which to hike.
During the night of December 5 into December 6, 2016, schools of fish bubbled and thumped around our anchor chain. After the sun was up, I went beachcombing while GB went dinghy fishing. He caught 6 triggerfish just perfect for tacos and ceviche. As the day grew warmer we joined forces and snorkeled together around Agua Verde's northernmost cove. There weren't many fish that day but visibility was clear to 20', which was nice.
Agua Verde never stays empty for very long, so it was no surprise when six sailboats, including Kia Ora, arrived in quick succession. One of the larger ketches made for the southern anchorage while the other five boats shuffled around the NW lobe.
Happy Hour on Kia Ora was indeed happy as we four made plans for the next couple of days…
