Now in Las Brisas

We have now moved from Vistamar Marina to Las Brisas anchorage. Our location is 8:55.268N 79:31.791

We had to motor all the way to get here because we were going directly into the wind, and our passage was made more interesting by the fact that the engine overheating alarm went off. We finished our journey under reduced revs and we will look for the problem after lunch.
