Tuesday February 1, 2022 Punta Salagua

Up late, we don’t feel great. So, we are going to move either to Carazelle or Santiago for one more night, then we plan to go from here to Ixtapa (about 188 miles south) which will be an overnight to get there.

This was a sick day for me. The only thing of interest today, was watching the classic “Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray 

This is a couple of rays that circled the boat a couple of times. Reneé got some video, but this blog doesn’t really allow video.

Thursday February 3, 2022 Ensenada Carazelle

If you have a sick captain and you need to just chill, you’d want to hang out in Ensenada Carrizal.  We’ve been here two nights.  Only 3 boats here both nights.  Oh, did I mention this is a very small anchorage?  I made chicken soup for Neil.  I was just itching to snorkel but with our rule, “Neither of us goes in the water alone.”, I didn’t think I’d get to go.  Well, fortunately, there is a single female sailor on another cutter, S/V Mcani.  She and I took her dinghy to the dive spot this afternoon and wow! The snorkeling was fabulous!  I found myself in the middle of a school of large purple fish with orange tails, yellow fins and dark blue noses.  I wish I’d brought a camera. I managed to lose one of my water shoes and was too tired to get back in the water to look for it.  While I was playing in the water, Neil rested.  Thank goodness he is starting to feel better.

Two more boats joined us in the anchorage at sunset, Liberty and S/V Liahona.  So it’s a bit crowded.

End of the day the generator failed, so we will return to Barra tomorrow rather than head south. Low on water, clothes to wash and no generator to run the watermaker or the washer.

This is the generator that won’t run. When it does it supplies all of our power needs.
