We picked up the anchor and headed to Turtle Bay for fuel. We must have killed a zillion kelp flies on the way... with the zapper, our hands, towels, anyway we could!
Saw more whales and other sea life on the way.
Had about 25 knots of wind right on the nose going into Turtle Bay. They have a cool set up now - they have moorings they will allow you to use to fuel, so we grabbed the mucky line on our first try, tied off and waited for the fuel barge. No more med-mooring to the rickety pier! This is way easier than the old days, and at $2.49 a gallon - a deal!
Too much wind in here to enjoy, so time to go! Cleared the mooring and headed out of the bay under headsail. On our passages we eat (had leftover flank steak sandwiches after my half hour search for where the hell did I put the other mayonnaise - and here I thought I was so organized...) read and do Sudoku. Here is an example of our Sudoku books - first mine (Heather) with the "Light and Easy", then Stan with "Medium" (see how he scratches it out if he makes a mistake?) and Pam who has graduated to the "Over the Edge" or "Sudoku from Hell":
We passed Bahia San Cristobal, San Pablo and San Roque and headed around Isla Asuncion.
We saw more whales here and had a decent breeze. We anchored outside of a couple other boats and had sun showers! Not quite enough sun for Jim's shower... he waited too long and it was kind of dark and kind of cold...After dinner of jumbalaya we watched a seal swim under and around the boat chasing the little fish using us protection. I think the seal ate as well as we did that night!
