Subject: Inching North
Hi All,
We are still inching our way North to the Bay of LA. We are now in a rather large bay called Ensenada el Quemado. We had a nice sail, even if too short. Boys are out fishing, and I’m still hoping for another Yellowtail. The humidity is back up to ~70% after being down around 20% the past several days. It’s so stifling I just don’t feel like doing anything. Our navigation instruments have been acting funny with displays each having access to some data but not other and nothing is consistent. In fact, our chartplotter didn’t have GPS on the sail up here so for the first time we didn’t have the nice little boat icon on the chart showing our location. We are so spoiled! I’m sure it’s a network communication issue and I got everything to work now since we dropped anchor, but I have no idea how. I just turned things off/on in no particular order and now it works. When we have wifi again I will need to do some reading about “Seatalk” which is the network protocol our Nav instruments use.
Not really anything exciting going on around here, just wanted to check in.
Love and miss you all,
-D.

[…] we were down to bare bones of fresh fruits and veggies, but we decided to make one more stop at Ensenada el Quemado. Lady Carolina left a few hours before us and had no wind, and by the time we got our act […]
