In Turtle Bay (8 – 10 May 2014)

Thursday, 8 May 2014 – Two sailboats left this morning, and we made another trip into town to buy groceries. It was windy all day, blowing steadily at more than 25 knots with higher gusts. On our way back to the boat we stopped at the beach palapa to enjoy some beers followed by a quick trip out in Enrique’s water shuttle. We could see the sea condition outside of the bay from the boat with whitecaps everywhere. The weather did begin to calm down overnight.

Friday, 9 May 2014 – One of the fishing boats left as did a motor-sailor. In the morning, the local fishing fleet arrived back in port as they had been stranded by the bad weather.  The town had fresh fish once again. We just relaxed all day, sleeping and reading.

Saturday, 10 May 2014 – The weather has improved and we prepared the boat for a possible departure early Sunday. Another trip was made into town to stock up on our grocery supplies. The sea condition still looked rough outside the bay however it was calm within in the bay. We plan on making one final weather check early Sunday morning.
