Charlie changed the fuel filters on the generator, not an easy task and then to boot, in a very small space. I finished The Tenth Gift by Jane Johnson and added this to my best book list. We are getting the boat ready for a 4:30 a.m. departure in the morning and making a 60 N M (nautical mile) sail to Cozumel. Without any issues we should be in Isla Mujeres by Monday evening and then welcome Susi Q on board Tuesday for her 3rd visit to Island Sol.March 8...Hoisted the anchor and left at our departure time of 4:30. The wind is 21 mph with sloppy seas and with the wind at 30 degrees on a starboard tack. Very uncomfortable motor sailing, being tossed all around. Had to finally take in the jib and motor sailed with the main sail only.
The starboard davit pole broke lose and Charlie had to use a snap block and a halyard from the mast to support the dingy because we were slamming into the waves so badly.
