Wednesday, May 9th<\/p>\n

Exiting San Juanico with Bahia Salinas as our next anchorage 40 miles to the SE. Ham net is forecasting NE winds which would be perfect BUT unfortunately it never materialized. Kat Kan Do opted out on the long leg heading to Puerto Ballandra across from Loreto. MoonDrifter, Barramundi and Gato Loco  motored into Salinas 5ish with a quick stop at the wreck for some snorkeling. Water clarity was a bit disappointing..<\/p>\n

Tonight is music night on Barramundi. It\u2019s too bad that Cat Can Do didn\u2019t make it since Bruce plays and could join Steve for the evening entertainment. Lots of goodies arrive with each crew and thanks to Joe on Mariah (who headed for San Carlos) we have a huge pan of steamed chocolate clams.. Yum Yum..<\/p>\n

Steve and Pam are great hosts on their 1000 Seawind like Gato Loco. Steve loves music night as he is the star. He has lots of acumplement instruments including the filing cabinet I played.<\/p>\n

Helen & Ralph below\u2026 Our idols.. Ralph is now 81 and still cruising strong.<\/p>\n

Thursday May 10th<\/p>\n

Last year Ralph & Helen started a new tradition of \u201cFrench Toast Breakfast\u201d. You can tell the crews are all over this tradition including Steve\u2019s Bloody Marys.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7070\"<\/a> \"IMG_7073\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Salinas Bay has the old salt mine that we\u2019ve photographed the past years. It\u2019s such a interesting location and we have some crews that haven\u2019t yet seen it, SO, Here\u2019s some more photos.<\/p>\n

Frankie\u2019s not sure if this tractor will run.. Well maybe she is\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kurt and Laurie will depart early tomorrow driving back to San Diego. We say goodbye as they sail south in MoonDrifter and Gato Loco and Barramundi will sail north to Vee Cove just 10 miles around the corner.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7136\"<\/a><\/p>\n

11 am.. Hauling anchor, We have a problem\u2026 Starboard engine won\u2019t start.. Can you believe it.. Steve, on Barramundi, and I were just having a discussion about a common failure on our engines. The charge coil that provides spark to the spark plugs has failed twice on Barramundi and once in Gato Loco\u2026 And wouldn\u2019t you know it, Goto Loco now has our second failure. No worries, we\u2019ve got one engine left and we\u2019re a sail boat. Off to Vee Cove. We\u2019ll deal with this problem tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Until the next Update<\/p>\n
