Winds have us hunkering down in Puerto Escondido

 IMG_1139Monday morning..

Our northern winds continued through the night and waves are still rolling through the anchorage. Steve is leaving Gato Loco today after 11 days on board. I’m heading to Loreto with him to do some provisions. No way can our little dinghy get us to shore without soaking his bags so we hailed IMG_1141the water taxi. In the picture above you can see why we needed a taxi.

Steve gets a little emotional as we depart

Late day sunset >>>>>>>

 

We shared a taxi with Guy on Stray Cat and some of our Phoenix Lake Pleasant sailing club friends that chartered a mooring 443 out of La Paz. Winds in Loreto aren’t that noticeable and is actually very nice to set in an outdoor cafe recommended by Debra at La Daminia where Steve was staying the night before flying out on Tuesday.

Before leaving this morning we had a quick Seawind Rally radio meeting. Everybody plans on staying on their boats and stand watch. Weather permitting we’re all heading to Isla Carmen Bahia Salinas with a long white sand beach, good anchoring and a wreck to snorkel dive tomorrow (Tuesday).

Tuesday morning… We’re getting anxious to head out to the island. Winds is still with us but has backed to acceptable IMG_1180level. After nets we plan on pulling up to the fuel dock and exit Puerto Escondido.

A little challenging at the fuel dock with winds 18kt onto the dock. Decided to us a little dinghy assist to get the bow into the wind. Alls well on Gato Loco. We’re off to Isla Carmen FINALLY…

    Hey Mateys! I am land locked at the moment, as Roger Hines care giver. He is my high school sweetheart that I reconnected with after 50 years. He received a Pig Aorta to replace his very clogged one. Like Brian, he is doing so well…..drinking apple juice and eating yogurt, 24 hrs. after surgery. He loves to read your blogs so I have forwarded them on to him. I always look forward to your blogs! I am with you vicariously….keep spreading your sailing wings. Judy Alford

    Approaching Isla Coronados and Bill birthday party night. He’s had an awesome day walking the salt mine, diving the wreck, flying the spinnaker and even hooking up a fish but not landed. I’ll keep you posted on how tonight goes..

    BTW the table setting is from restaurant Canipole on east side of the mission where we had dinner Kerry and the Ausies.. It’s such a authentic and friendly place.. I have many other cool pics from there.. We’ll have internet tonight in the anchorage. Talk more…

    I knew Frankie would love Scotty. He walked around with a ball in his mouth all weekend.
