Yesterday we set off again. When Bob first tried to start the motor there was rather a sick sound coming from the starter. It turned out that the salt water from our episode on Monday caused a problem..but after a few tries the motor was fine.
Our friends Corinne and Brian came with us again..we were only going to Stone Island. The sail over was good but there was a chilly breeze blowing and fog more or less the entire trip which was only a few hours.
The dingy trip in was interesting as we had 4 people and the dog. Everyone was a bit damp.
It was past 3 by the time we had lunch...yummmy
When we approached the dingy to go back to the boat, Patches tried to run away. I am sure he would have gone with Corinne and Brian and never looked back.
We did make it to the boat just fine but a bit wet.
Our first night anchored was good. We were in bed by 7 pm and slept fitfully but that seems a normal reaction.
We plan to leave for Isla Isabella about 4 pm today and sail all night.
Patches hasnt gone to the bathroom since yesterday at about 4 pm..ab out 20 hr and so far we cannot convince him that it is okay. When we leave here we won.t set foot on land for at least 16 hours...we shall see.
Thanks to our great friends Judy and Cal and Corinne and Brian for all their hospitality while we were at Marina Mazatlan.
