The universe is so good to us. We are in a very pristine cove in front of a beautiful little hotel owned by a couple who used to live in South Pasadena. Isaac and Arturo, their two sons, are here helping out, and I have just met Rachel, their little sister. What a great family!
Two days ago we arrived in a different cove around the corner after motoring all the way from Bahia del Sol. We made contact with Serg on the green pilot boat, who had left a few days earlier, and we joined him and Katie, along with Rick on Evenstar. The little bay was very mellow the first afternoon but a bit rolly, and the night brought on a vigorous thunder and lightning storm. Yesterday we took a dinghy ride down to this spot and ordered lunch. The wind came up, and David and I began to worry about our Sidewinder around the corner. We quickly canceled our lunch, and we all motored into the big waves and wind, getting drenched by the warm salt water. (Thank goodness it was warm!)
When we arrived, we were happy to see Sidewinder just where we had left her, but Rick's boat was close to being on the beach. David and Rick jumped on Evenstar and turned on the engine, struggled to raise the anchor and saved her! YAHOO! We all moved, and here we are, safe and sound again. Isaac wants to do a hike, and I need to go get tennis shoes; this island is sooo cool. I will send pictures soon. We may be able to go horseback riding tomorrow; wouldn't that we great! Love to all.
Suzi and David are on their way.
