Puerto Escondido

May 14-16, 2013

We temporarily left the kid boat flotilla in order to go to Puerto Escondido for a couple of days. We didn’t stay long here, because, well there’s not much here. We basically provisioned, got fuel, did laundry, and got our wifi fix. Puerto Escondido is a huge natural hurricane hole, so it was also good to go in and check it out should we ever need to retreat there for protection from the weather.

Daily Notes

- Tim fixed SB engine
- Laundry, groceries

(Edit: Seriously??? A single bullet about fixing the starboard engine? Listed alongside laundry and groceries? This was a huge deal. It goes WAY back… probably the first symptom was when we first took possession of Exodus and were on transit between San Diego and Marina del Rey and we noticed that the wake of the SB engine was different than the Port engine. It started really slipping when we were in La Paz, in fact, when we went to the fuel dock at Costa Baja Marina when we were rushing out of La Paz to catch the other kid boats Tim had to pull up to the dock with only one engine! Basically, the cone clutch was slipping so the engine didn’t always engage the sail drive. And Tim fixed it himself after watching a youtube video and after several visits to the marine shop at Puerto Escondido. This was a big deal.)
