When I lay down yesterday, I thought Roy would wake me at ten, so we could eat supper and leave, but he let me sleep, bless his heart. I didn't wake up until after five this morning. That was quite a nap.
We got a favorable weather report from Port Control, so right after breakfast, we left.
As we were leaving the bay, another U.S. sailboat, the "Ossuna", hailed us on VHF. They had spent the night in Salina Cruz and were about 2 miles behind us. They're also going to Costa Rica, so they'll be following us quite a ways. They don't plan on stopping in Puerto Madero, however.
Delightful breeze this morning. Perfect temperature. Had all four sails up, but also used the engine for extra speed. Around noon, the wind died down, then shifted to southeast, so we were able to continue motorsailing.
Heidi on the Ossuna called us on the VHF and chatted for a few minutes. A very calm, peaceful day.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
