We got up at almost 8 am, we plan to leave after the net this morning (9 am, channel 22). We will need to check out of the marina and get rid of our trash (the bins are all the way around on the far side of the marina from here). Then we will pull out and head up to Tenacatita (about 16 miles) or the “secret anchorage” Cuastecomate, about 6 miles. There is no rush to get to either location. If the weather is good, and not to big of waves, we will try for Cuastecomate, as there is very good snorkeling there. Two nights here would be the plan, and then two nights at Tenacatita, where we would pick up Elton Lee on Friday night, and then sail back Saturday morning to Barra de Navidad. We will see what we actually do.
We wound up talking to John Schulthess from S/V Baja Fog (a catamaran) for about an hour, then left and headed out to Cuastecomate. We sailed for a couple of hours and then took the sails down and motored in and dropped anchor (only about 6 miles). We had lunch and talked to a few people on the phone and then Renee’ went for a swim.
Good news the water was great! Bad news, she lost her hat and dove in to recover it. Good news, she got the hat, horrible news, she lost her sunglasses. These are not “just” sunglasses, they are tools that we need for daily operation on the ocean. It is important to protect your eyes when you are out in the sun all day every day, also we get reflected sunlight off the water again all day. So, these glasses are wrap around with wide temples to block the sun from the side, polarized, blue blocking anti glare and progressive lenses for distance at the top and reading at the bottom. In other words not cheap.
We called the place we got them and ordered another pair. Ouch!
