Enjoyed a perfect sail from Mayaguez to Boqueron. The wind was about twenty knots out of the northwest, which was just right for our course. Sailed the entire way, except for getting in and out of the anchorages.
Dropped anchor in Boqueron Bay about 4:30. This is a beautiful place. Long, clean, curving sandy beach, fringed by tall palm trees, with low green mountains in the background. There are more than fifty sailboats anchored here, plus some in the marina and a bunch of power boats. Plenty of room for hundreds more.
Paddled around for an hour or so. Went by the fuel dock. Now we know why fuel prices are so low. That 30 cents is for a liter , not a gallon. Roy went ashore and filled a five-gallon water jug for free.
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.
