Late December
2012
We are sitting at anchor in the La Cruz anchorage - waiting for a weather window and getting some R&R. We will round Cabo Corrientes (Cape
of Currents) in a day or two. It will be a night passage and we now have our auto pilot working so great!
There are lots of pelicans, fish and other sea life here at the anchorage. It's fun just watching the goings on.
We set up the Magma Flopper Stopper (Rock N Roll Stabilizer) and it has been working great. We had some 13-14 knot winds last night that brought out a fetch and we just pitched some but no roll….what a big difference. We are still working on the set up but it is working well. Today we are replacing a SS clip with a stronger one and the retrieval line with a longer one. Debbie marked the line in 5 foot intervals. We have at this time 15' deployed in the water to the stopper. The anchorage is about 25' deep. A longer retrieval line and we will go to 20' the recommended depth if possible.
It is 80 deg with a 5 knt breeze. Just nice.....life is good.
