We woke up on time, had breakfast and did our devotions. Listened to a sermon from North Coast, as we did not have good enough cell service to do live-streaming. The one we listened to was from 2017, given by Chris (the younger one) at North Coast on Identity Theft, this was the 1st in a 6 week series.
After the sermon, we evaluated our situation, anchored too close to the rocks, high winds in progress and expected to continue for at least 3 days, sheltered where we were, but only about 3 miles from a protected harbor. We either had to pick up the anchor and reset it so we were further from the rocks, or we had to pick up the anchor and run into the harbor. We had checked prices, and to pick up a mooring ball was $1 per foot per day, or $2.5 per foot per week. In other words, either 2 days or pay for a week.
Since we planned on going in for at least 2 days, we decided to just go to Puerto Escondido and pay for a week. This is so we can get the bottom cleaned and change the engine oil. So, we pulled the anchor up and motored across the bay to the narrows and went in and tied up to a mooring ball. The wind going across was from the north, at about 30 knots. Waves were starting to pile up and it was a rough 3 miles. Once we got into the “waiting room” we heard another bigger boat leaving via the narrows. We waited for them to get out and then we went in. This harbor is pretty big, and protected from the waves, and sort of from the wind. It was still pretty windy that afternoon and night. We stayed on the boat
