Escondido – V Cove Well, Honeymoon cove on Isla Danzante sounded great in theory, but we were immediately swarmed by bees and I received my very first jellyfish stings when I jumped in the water to snorkel – baptized by sting. Kessel was the first to pull the hook and leave, but once dried off we were […] More
