Adios San Carlos

San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico

Looks like it is finally time to blow this joint.

The nasty storm (wind?) front has passed us by and we are in for a few days of calm seas and light winds (hopefully not too light). We were testing out our computer interface to our sailing instruments to monitor the wind speed here in the marina over the last couple of days, We saw winds gusting near 30 knots at the dock - it is probably not as bad out at sea because I am sure the surrounding hills funnel the winds into the marina. We probably should have left today to take advantage of these winds but, while we like some wind, we do not like the larger wave action that goes along with it, especially when we have not been sailing for over 5 months - our sailing skills, such as they are, are a little rusty.

Yesterday and today we have been finishing off our provisioning for the upcoming months. We left the produce run until today to get the freshest possible fruit and veggies. The Santa Fe market is surprisingly well stocked for such a small store. We still have time for a couple more last-minute runs to the store, if we think of any last-minute must-haves.

Tomorrow morning we will make an early start, stopping first at the Pemex station for some go-juice. Looks like a pretty easy gas station - even I should be able to dock without tearing down any signage this time.

Sine Timore - Eager for action!

Note: If anyone is trying to get in contact with us, you will have to resort to our "sailmail" address as I doubt we will have any Internet access in the near future.
