Puerto Don Juan, BLA, BC, Mexico
The current strong north winds are scheduled to lighten up by Thursday of this week, so that is our planned departure date. Brisk north winds are not necessarily a bad thing since we are headed mostly south from here, but the accompanying high seas are not very comfortable and I really don't need a sick crew for the estimated 30 hour crossing.
Our anchorage here in Puerto Don Juan, which we had to ourselves a few days ago, has now collected a total of 7 other boats. Almost everyone here is about to make a break for points further south in the next few days, just like us. Hurricane Jova is terrorizing the southern coast of Mexico right now, due to make landfall late today around Manzanillo with winds around 120 knots. We are very glad to still be up here in the BLA area, around 600 miles north of the beast. There don't appear to be any other immediate threats brewing for our area so all is well.
With any luck, our next entry in this blog will come from the San Carlos area on the mainland side of the Sea, possible complete with a few pictures. On a related, and somewhat sad, note, I inadvertently took our small digital camera (one the we acquired when we were in San Diego last year) for a swim up in Refugio last week. It is not a waterproof camera and has suffered the consequences. A new camera has been added to our wish list.
