Up at 5:30 for Reneé and 6:30 for me. Underway by 7 am (it was still darkish, but light enough to see which way to go. We motored the whole way as true wind never got above 5 knots. We found a time change so while the clock said we arrived at 4 pm, it was closer to 3 pm local time.
We saw Whales, Rays, Jelly Fish and very few other boats. Only a couple of fishing boats. We anchored in 25 feet of water about 1.25 miles off shore. This anchorage has an issue with bugs, so we like to anchor out, we also put our screens down.
We had an issue with the radar today, I usually use the screen that was set up with the map (chart) with a radar overlay. Well apparently the latest version of the firmware made that particular screen not work. So, I called tech support and was shown where the toggle was to turn that on. Supper easy!
We are thinking of spending two nights here, as the next stretch is an other long day (about 45 miles). We plan to stay there for two days as well Isla Isabella, where the blue footed boobies and the frigate birds nest. I believe we have missed that this year as it is too late in the season for them.
While we were sailing, I noticed a line swinging around up the mast, upon further investigation, we figured out that it was the topping lift for the boom. The line had parted and will have to be replaced.
If it is not one thing it is something else.
