Fair weather risks

We made our escape from the marina yesterday with fuel tanks topped off. Getting in and out of marinas and fuel docks is always the most stressful part, but we time it well and didn't have much wind or other boats to contend with.

With calm winds we're taking time to stop at a couple of fair weather anchorages that we couldn't visit on our way north. We stopped at the SE end of Carmen Island last night. It was reported to offer whale sightings and nice views. Whales have been spotted, but they're a long way off. Tonight we'll see if there is anyone in a small cove called Caleta Candeleros Chico or Little Candlestick Cove. It's only got room for one boat so we'll head for an alternate if it's already occupied.

Kay is baking today. We're not entirely sure we have enough propane for such an extravagance, but brownies and banana muffins are worth the risk.
