Wednesday April 20, 2022 Bahia Chamela to Yelapa

We got up at 11:30 pm Tuesday night, and we were underway by 1155 pm.  We had an uneventful trip up the coast in the dark. With virtually no wind and almost no waves. Going around Cabo Corrientes. Has not been fun before. We shredded a sail the last time north. This is a point like Point Conception in California where the wind changes significantly. Typically the northerly winds hit and cause confusion and there is of course the wind from the land here as well. In any case we did not experience any of that this time. We have seen about a week of virtually no wind for this area of the world, and that results in minimal wave action as well. So, this was a motor boat ride as opposed to a sailboat trip against the wind.

We arrived at Yelapa at about 1 pm, got tied up and put things away and took naps. Tomorrow we will tackle the hike to the waterfall with Steve and Denny. My plan is if it starts to be too much for me, I will sit and wait for them to come back. We BBQ’d steak and got showers then a movie and bed.

Normally we see the GPS speed and the boat speed pretty close to showing the same thing. This difference shows that there is a current going the opposite way that we are at about 2 knots. I also highlighted sea water temperature.
A rather calm day.
Just another sunset
