Up and about breakfast and the net. Plan to get underway and head over to Punta de Mita. We will just anchor there or may go to Chacala around the point.
We left the marina around 9:30. There was very little wind but with ~6 kts we put up the sails. The wind speed increased gradually with speeds averaging 20 kts most of the afternoon. We were traveling slowly, just enjoying the quiet sail when we watched a sailboat pass us. It continued to circle us (at a fair distance) with speeds doubling ours. By the time we’d reached >6 kts of speed while heeling, the other sailboat turned away.😀. We dropped anchor at around 4:30 at the Punta De Mita anchorage.
We have decided to not go to Chacala, we will hang out here until Saturday morning.
Just another day in paradise, with the wind light and the water temperature a bit chillier than I would have thought. In Tampa, that is. lol. We’re having guests at the end of this week-my roommate from San Diego State & her husband — friends of ours for 40 years! We have Zoom happy hours with them each week so when you are back at full throttle we should try to have a short zoom & happy hour with you two. I read your log every time it comes in, and I know I owe Renee a letter back from the one she just send. It’s the end of the semester and when grading is done I’ll write a proper tome. Love you guys. Be safe. I’m learning German — bis spater! – Linda
