Storm Coming?

At 6:am this morning I arose, made coffee, booted up the computer and sat back sipping my coffee, while posting on the blog. As it turned out I should have looked at the weather first. That would have saved a lot of last minute hassle. At 8:am Ray in PE came on Ch-22 and said there was a very large storm coming our way from La Paz. Oops, should have checked, but nothing was predicted. I looked on the weather site and sure enough there was a big one headed right up towards us. Things got pretty exciting for a while, rushing around preparing to exit the leeward unprotected shore at Loreto. We had two options, they were both about the same distance, but one had better protection from the high winds expected. They were Bahia Marquer and Bahia Juncalito. We opted for juncalito. The winds only reached 20knots on the way and the rollers were only about three feet. We motor sailed and made it in two hours to the bay. We anchored in ten feet of water about seventy yards off shore. The storm petered out before it reached us, so it was all for naught. Then again, it was a good practice run.


That evening Judy was still having pain where her tooth was extracted. I took a peek and thought it might be getting infected, so we will be heading back to Loreto to see the dentist tomorrow, weather permitting. We also need to pick up some more supplies, and get ice.
