It's a good thing we like battening down the hatches and settling in with a good book on the boat. This morning, we hailed the Western Flyer, a research vessel out of Monterey Aquarium (shades of John Steinbeck and Notes from the Sea of Cortez) as they passed our anchorage. They told us there were 31 knot winds from the North (the direction we wanted to go), and 6 foot combined seas. We said we had thought about sailing up to Los Muertos...they laughed. We stayed put.
Later in the day, the winds moderated and Jeff and Kathy from Beatrix motored their dinghy over to this fishing boat, where they were hoisted (literally, by the wrist, no ship's ladder here!) aboard, welcomed profusely, and given a gift of shrimp and fish. We feasted well tonight.
