Turtle Bay

We have arrived in Turtle bay in good shape. Everybody is ok. Clark and Uncle Mike have been seasick for the last 4 days.

The steering broke on day 2, but we repaired it and it worked fine all day yesterday in 8ft. seas. We stopped with a bunch of boats in Bahia San Quintin to repair the steering and the VHF radio. There was 8-10ft seas outside so the anchorage was very rolly.
We cooked the Lasagna and chicken dishes and Dave made bratwurst. We have been munching on the Nutragrain bars and eating yogurt and raisin bran for breakfast.

We caught a small bonito on the squid lour and ate sashimi for appetizers on two nights. It was great!

We have had a string of bad luck with the boat gear, but we have been able to work through most of the issues.

I’m here in town at Turtle bay at an internet café. There is no AC on the boat so I’m here charging the computers and sending email.

The Spot unit ran out of batteries and I tried to put in new ones. The package you got was AA and the unit requires AAA. Go figure. We put AAA alkaline batteries in but they only last one night. We were sending our position about every hour manually to conserve batteries last night and that seemed to work.

We will go to the Bar-B-Que on the beach today then start leg 2 tomorrow at 12:30PM.
