We did not sleep very well, as it was VERY windy. We got up at about 7:30, and listened to the Net Channel 22 at 8 am.
We went ashore and took our boots and lunch. When we got ashore we took a hike out the far side of the marina and across the road, then hung a high and pretty soon we were out of pavement. We continued on the dirt roads until it became a trail, still fairly flat, then we found a place to go up so that we could see the marina from a higher point. All told, we walked about 5 miles, and got some pretty good views. Finally after lunch we headed back to the marina and grabbed a beer. We then went up to the Captain’s Lounge, to check email and Facebook. We ran into the lady kayaker that we had talked to before from Wild Blue, we think we met them in Turtle Bay on the way down. Finally we headed back to the boat.
It was a wet crossing across the bay. The wind has died down (SLIGHTLY) but there are still white caps in the bay. I started the generator and noted that the battery was at about 95% already, so it is just about getting hot water for showers and dishes.
This area looks like someone has spent quite a bit of money. The enclosure of the bay appears manmade, the two new marina’s the paved roads with landscaping down the middle of the streets. The streets are wide, and have gutters and sidewalks. There are a couple of extensions off the bay that have sea walls and floating docks. It looks like the city is ready to be built. There is no real infrastructure other than the two marina’s but it looks ready to build. Some very expensive houses next to the water and some lower priced ones a bit further from the water back on good roads. They have irrigation for the landscaping, so there is probably water and power out to the lots as well
