Everything Fine!
Had a slow sail/motor today from Chivirico, which
is the tightest anchorage we have ever entered. You have to motor on a bearing
until you are almost on the shore, then do a hard left and proceed (slowly)
through a gap in the reef. It was low tide when we arrived so we did touch
bottom at one stage, but only in soft mud so were able to reverse off and try
again. Had a noisy evening listening to the music from the bar on the shore,
played through a system that produced the most distortion I have ever heard.
Fortunately they turned it off as it got dark.... and just before it gave me a
headache.
Anyway, all is well. Small problem with the
alternator but was able to fix that (I have a spare one anyway). Caught that
elusive fish on the way here today. A 18" long tuna which will do us nicely for
a couple of meals each. We will only stay here 1 night and then plan to move on
to Cabo Cruz tomorrow.
Best Wishes,
John & Georgina
