Alert Quijote followers who have been keeping an eye on our In-Reach tracking will no doubt have observed disappointing progress. So what gives? Have they really been sitting in one place for four days? Pretty much. The first two days were deliberate because we like the anchorage we're in. But then the winds picked up for a couple of days and gave us the choice of bashing our way up wind for six hours to the next anchorage, or staying put and enjoying more of a good thing. So here we are. We'll be on our way tomorrow though as winds are predicted to be more moderate for the next several days. The nice thing about windy winter weather in Mexico is that it makes temperatures pleasant and keeps the bugs away. Our anchorages so far have been relatively bug free.
We anticipate good hiking and snorkeling tomorrow afternoon, which might tempt us to linger for two nights. Granted hiking and snorkeling is exactly what we've been doing at this anchorage, but such is life on a boat in the Sea of Cortez.
