Lazy Jacks connected to our spreaders, not so good? Coming back from Acapulco we stopped at Cabeza Negra for an overnight anchor and the swells were big. That's when we rolled nd broke off a lazy jack from the spreader.
One of the reasons we sailed over here to Isla Grande is because there weather coming. There was a big cyclone out in the Pacific and the waves are headed our way. Zihuatanejo does not handle a SW swell that well and that is what the waves are. We tucked back in behind Isla Grande so we are well protected. Of course it helps that this place is peaceful and beautiful.
We had a great sail from Zihuatanejo to Isla Grande(Isla Ixtapa). We just raised the sails on the way out of Zihuatanejo bay and sailed without tacking or any tending of the sail. We did about 2.5 – 3.5 knots on a beautiful sunny calm day.
