After leaving the lee of Isla Cedros we had another hour of exciting sailing before crossing the finish line (at 16 knots!) for this stage. Then we had another three hours of exciting sailing in the twilight and darkness before pulling in to the anchorage in Turtle Bay.
It looks like about a quarter of the fleet has arrived as of this morning. The anchorage is hella-windy but at least there is no swell. We had a well-deserved relaxing evening after dropping anchor and got our first full night's sleep in three days. We're spending the morning getting stuff cleaned up and put away to make things pleasant for the next few days. Saturday at noon, we set off for the next stop in Bahia Santa Maria.
For as racy and Spartan a boat as Sally is, she sure makes a posh platform at anchor: Lots of flat space, trampolines, and a mainsail that can be easily rolled up around the boom and stowed out of the way. Oh yeah, and best of all—beanbags.
We're on our way into town for ice and a little shore leave, then dinner at the restaurant.
