Our week
started with some time in Cholla Bay over the past weekend with friends
both Saturday and Sunday nights. Yesterday (Monday) we drove from
Cholla to San Carlos via the border to pickup an auto permit (about
an 8 hour trip with the slow service at the permit office). Should
be 2 hours shorter when we go back this weekend directly to Cholla.
Today
we got our cruising permit and were ready to head out but two
things came up. Neely got a hold of some bad tacos and was running
to the
parking lot all night last night to take care of business. We
need to stabilize this so I’m not running to shore in the dingy
all night.
However, the main reason is the wind is blowing today (gusts
in the low 30s). With the light crew we plan to hang at the marina
until
things lighten up. It’s 5:30 PM now and the boat is swinging
from the wind blasts. Hoping for better conditions tomorrow morning
since
it is Frankie’s birthday and it would be great have a nice sailing
day.
Until the next update… The
Gato Loco Crew
