Nothing in sailing ever goes as plans..says Deanna.
Bob has ended up in Bahia de los Muertos (which means Dead Mans Bay..you get the drift). He said that he started out actually being able to sail, and all was pleasant until about 2 am. Then at about 2 am on Wednesday morning the south wind died, temperature dropped and the winds came from the north. From 2 am until he anchored in Los Muertos at about 5 pm on Wednesday. The winds (about 32 kn) were not that bad but the seas were ugly...waves breaking on the boat.
When I spoke to Bob, he was definately sleep deprived..totally exhausted.
As he said the problem with solo sailing is that you are solo!!
Now he is resting in Los Muertos and is hoping that the winds will be cooperating on Saturday at which time he will head to La Paz.
Patches and I have discussed this latest sail and we are happy to be in Patzcuaro although we did have a earth tremor ...but no damage done.
