an early start for 50 miles to Tarutao. made some good
speed initially in WNW15-20kt winds but if the wind eased, we rolled the wind
out of the sails in the swell to leave them banging and slatting - very
unpleasant.
we were headed for the anchorage behind the NE tip of
Tarutao but the waves were heading straight in, but further south we found
superb shelter about half way down - just to the north of the Ranger station and
jetty - although plenty of room for many boats if necessary. the silence was
almost deafening - just the noise of bird calls in the densely wooded slopes
ashore.
the forecast was for more wind the following day, and
although we had the occasional gust down the steep slopes we felt little in this
snug spot.
