We motored over to the Singlar Marina in Guaymas yesterday in the early hours before the wind piped up. It’s hard to maneuver this old girl into a slip with cross winds. We’re now moored next to our friends’ boat, Thea Renee, whose occupants are at the moment enjoying their backyard pool and air conditioned house in California. We decided to enter a marina because Jesus, from Marina Seca, warned that the Chubascos coming in to Bahia San Carlos can hit 80 knots of wind and Sea Venture sat at anchor in the direct path of storm surge. We’d had no other choice there as smaller boats were moored all over the anchorage. Marina San Carlos offered us a more expensive slip on at outside tie, also in the way of the surge. We opted to wait for haul-out in Guaymas, perhaps not as picturesque as San Carlos, but within bus distance of stores and walking distance of restaurants. Hopefully, we’ll search out an ice cream store this evening.
This morning, Michael took the photos of an osprey atop a neighbor’s mast.
