Spent the day preparing the boat for an overnight sail and doing some cooking for the trip. Around 5 p.m. our little flatilla left and headed for Banco Chinchorro in Mexican waters. And, as our past was to be revisited, we were motor sailing into the wind with 6' seas.
It was a very uncomfortable sail again, but around 4:00 a.m. (March 2) we came into the lee of the Chinchorro Banks which flattened out the water and gave us a much more pleasant ride. Poor Charlie, he has been fishing since we left Guatemala and has only caught sargassum weed. Today though he snagged a barracuda. We arrived around 9:30 to the anchorage at Cayo Norte and found a good hold in plenty of sand, then showered and feel into bed for a much needed rest. Had happy hour on Vida Dulce - lovely evening with good conversation and what seems to be a good friendship forming.
The Chinchorro Banks have be so far the most beautiful water we have seen. We will hopefully revist there on our way back south in June.
