Taking the seanic route
(posted 03/05/24)
We got up at 5:30 am but didn’t get underway until 7:30. Cereal and apple beer bread for breakfast then our Bible reading.
Neil spoke with the Raymarine guy but cell service just not consistent. They’ve scheduled a meeting on the boat for this next Saturday in Santa Rosalia.

We woke up to an anchor alarm (at 0515!) and a bunch of wind. We were dragging (maybe?) so, we reset the anchor and that was about it.
Neil gave me a beautiful card! He thought ahead and purchased it in the states. I, Reneé, failed. I thought ahead for Valentine’s Day but not our anniversary. Oh well, I had a gift for Him instead of a card😘.
We played Quirkle in the afternoon. I made a loaf of sourdough bread.

We went for a paddle board trip to the beach and then a walk.
Reneé tried to catch a fish by dropping some bait in the water (little smokies) but no fish took the bait.

Very quiet day. The other boat in the bay left at 8:00 am. We watched a sermon from NorthCoast Church. Pastor Larry taught on 1 John, “Who are you going to believe?”
Reneé made apple beer bread to go with the Sunday oatmeal. Later in the day she put two hooks in the water with little smokies on them but caught nothing.
The temperature just didn’t get warm enough to get us out on the water in a kayak or paddle board. The water is no doubt cold.
Neil waited all day for a call from the Raymarine Rep. no call came.
We had chicken fajitas for dinner.
We watched LA Confidential – long movie and a bit violent.

Little to no wind all day. We got up around 6 am, and had breakfast and underway by a little after 8 am. The other boat was gone by the time we went past where we had seen them. We went down the channel and Reneé asked about the internet since we were supposed to be inside the area where it is supposed to have service for the price we are paying. Once it was running, I checked on Ray Marine representatives and B&G as I was hoping to find one or the other in Puerto Vallarta to possibly replace or at least fix what we are dealing with. Fortunately for us, I found that while neither of those companies are represented there, the Ray Marine representative for this area of Mexico is actually in Santis Pac, BCS. This is about 150 miles south of Puerto Don Juan where we are headed tonight! So, I tried calling and found out that my phone is not setup for WiFi calling, and it will have to wait until I have cell service. However Reneé does have WiFi calling turned on, so I used her phone and talked to Brian Coleman of Coleman Marine in … Seattle. Well, okay, his company is in Seattle, and his cell phone number is from Seattle, but he lives in Santis Pac, Baja California Sur (BCS). We talked and kept getting interrupted as the satellite connection while moving is not very good. We will talk more tomorrow.
The rest of the trip was pretty dull, no wildlife, no boat, no weather, no sailing. All while hand steering. YUCK! We arrived at about 4:30 and found a spot with about 33 feet of water and anchored. Had dinner took a nap and played a game of cards then bed.
