September 27 – October 1, 2013
These were quick stops at La Gringa and BLA village. We got blown out of Isla Mitlan and took refuge for a night at La Gringa from the North wind, and then made a quick stop at the village for provisioning before heading North to Puerto Refugio and then San Felipe.

Subject: Better Weather
We got chased out of the Isla Mitlan anchorage two days ago because the wind blew directly out of the NW right into the anchorage. We probably had 6-8 ft swells. When we were leaving I actually got sprayed from water from the bow when I was at the helm. Pretty sure that’s a first for me. I was really bummed that our time at Mitlan was spoiled by wind because it’s a beautiful place and I was hoping to do a lot of paddle boarding and hike the volcano. We moved to La Gringa with better North wind protection. Yesterday the boys went out dinghy fishing with the Lady Carolina boys and brought back a Sierra and a Pacific Bonito. They caught it and cleaned it themselves and then later we had Sashimi for dinner. Today we will probably head to the village for our last wifi and grocery fix before beginning our trip up to San Felipe. Less than a month!
Love and miss you all,
-D.
