Wind is keeping us on Sarantium and some Tequila…

Winds have picked up and we are forced to stay on Sarantium, for a couple of reasons. One, it might be too much wind for the zodiac to actually make it to the beach. Two, I’m hesitant to leave Sarantium in case she drags anchor. Without looking at the wind meter, it feels and sounds like 40knots. There are five boats altogether in the bay; Ogigiona from Seattle, Inscrutaples from Vancouver, a blue sloop from Germany, another traditional beauty of a ketch and us. There was a massive and very fancy power boat that arrived this morning at daybreak, however they chose to leave after a few hours. I believe their boat’s structure had too much windage and was forced to leave. Their tender was almost the size of Sarantium. Their flag was red, orange and white so not Canadian, nor USA, or Mexican.

The water is very warm, turquoise and clear here and it finally feels like the tropics. I keep looking for Bull sharks as they say they thrive here. 😳 Manta Rays also exist abundantly here. This bay has a underwater canyon that runs from land out, which you have to be aware of when one anchors. If the boat drags, the anchor goes with, falls off the shelf and down the canyon!

In addition, there are two sunken wrecks in the bay. One is a large freighter, Colima, and a 90 foot fishing boat. Colima was lost in a storm 1939 and the fishing boat sunk in 1978.

We have (almost) officially ran out of fresh fruit and veggies…we have one mealie apple, one very dark and cracked (half of) lime and one very sad looking lemon left.

But we have tequila… and kumbucha!

What else is needed?
