May 30, 2020 Puerto Peñasco; Day 3 of Quarantine

I woke up early, Renee’ slept in some. When we got up we had breakfast and did our devotions. Yeah, they same as yesterday. Only worse the waves are bigger and there is some more wind.

We talked to the other boats in the anchorage, there are a total of 6 of us now. Most have a stern anchor out. We talked to the port captain, who said that he expected that we would probably come into the marina tomorrow around 10 am (due to the weather) and then back out here when the weather improved. After suggesting that we might need to adjust where the stern anchor was we went out and looked, good thing! The Anchor rode is a multi strand line (I think 3 big strands made up of many smaller ones). Two of the bigger strands are broken and it was just down to one. We looked at our options, and let the line fairly loose and tied a fender on to the end. Currently the anchor rode is looped around a cleat on deck, and we are waiting on help to go get it. I have a back ache and our dinghy weighs too much to go out in this kind of weather. We are going to be paying a local for some help.

So, the local guy came out with 4 people in a Panga, the guy driving spoke English, once they understood what we were asking for they got the anchor up and then spliced the rope and gave it back. We were pretty happy overall.

We do have room for guests, if anyone is interested in visiting and spending a week or so with us, drop us a line and we will coordinate. What you have to do/have is you need a passport and will need to be able to get to where we are when you are going to be down. When we know what time frame you are thinking about we can let you know where we expect to be so that you can make your travel arrangements.
