We rolled out of bed this morning, enjoyed a breakfast of oatmeal, and weighed anchor around 8 am. The morning was sunny and breezy, a perfect day with just the right amount of wind for a day of sailing. The plan was to take a 24 hour passage to the next anchorage, but on closer inspection, Eric discovered an intermediate destination that will allow us to anchor before nightfall. That'll give us two daytime passages in place of one overnight passage. It was a popular decision with the crew, as it gives us better sleep. And we're in no hurry.
I'm on the hook to make dinner tonight; black bean soup and home-made bread I'm told. As ambitious as that sounds, it's really not. At least not for me. Both soup and bread have already been made. It's up to me to heat and serve.
Before embarking on this trip, Linda rented a hotel room with a kitchen in La Paz and sequestered herself for long enough to fill their boat's freezer with ready-made vacuum sealed meals. I've done the same on Quijote before leaving on trips from home. The primary difference is that Quijote, as a smaller boat, has no freezer. That substantially limits the range of pre-prepared home-made meals. I have no idea how deep their freezer is, but so far the meals keep coming. Presumably we'll resort to canned meals at some point.
