Weather: Overcast and hazy
News:
Wednesday morning I checked in with the harbormaster and customs in
Zihuantanejo as some of the crew took a look around town, which appeared to
be very geared up for shopping. At 1730 Timoneer departed Zihuatanejo for
the overnight journey to Bahia Tenacatita further up the Mexican coast
towards our ultimate destination of the Baja Peninsula. The anchor chains
had twisted over the night in the light air so once they were unraveled we
motored out of the harbor directly into the sunset on our course of 280 T.
Though the night we altered course occasionally for some of the busy
shipping traffic along the coast while motoring in the long swell and light
air. Bevan and I tried everything on the fishing front including multiple
lure changes without luck; blaming the rapid drop in water temp to 72
degrees as the problem? We dropped anchor at 1345 Thursday afternoon
joining three other cruising boats in the anchorage.
