Left Punta Chivato about 8:30 am yesterday and motorsailed to the anchorage at San Juanico, arriving at about 6:30 or so. Its a 56 mile run so need to keep the speed up to make in by dark. There were light northerly winds and pretty calm seas making it a pleasant trip.
Beatifully anchorage here and about 10 to 12 boats here. Pictures to be posted later. Saw Marlene and Roy from Damiana and they came over to say hello. Roy's giving a medical lecture at the Loreto Fest.
As predicted strong northerlies came in starting about mid morning and increasing in the afternoon to about 25 knots. This anchorage provides good protection from the seas that have probably built to 6 feet, but still gets a lot of wind.
I kayaked to the beach around 11 and hike the dirt roads and beach for a few hours. There's a cool cruisers shrine on the beach in a juniper tree with shell and wood adornments with boat names and crews from the past years.
It was a wet kayak trip back to the boat, but not too bad. The rest of the afternoon was spent watching the boats bob around and playing on the computer. Could be blowing as hard tomorrow, so will have to see want happens and if I can get out of here and down toward Puerto Escondido.
Later,
Ed
