While Lowe napped this morning Ouest and I ran out for one last grocery grab. Not much, just some baby food, a huge pile of strawberries, and some cheese. We also topped up our wireless internet card, though I suspect we’re going to find places to use it few and far between.

By the time we got home Lowe was up and it was time to go. Ali grabbed the kids and walked to the office while I motored out of the slip and over to the gas dock. Seems like kind of a silly way of doing things, but these days we find it easier for everyone involved.

We filled up the diesel and then ran in to pay that and the electricity bill. Two hours later we were on our way. Two hours. I’m not going to say anything more about the speed and efficiency of the marina office staff.

So, late start, but we only had an eighteen mile trip ahead of us. The wind was up and on the nose, but there isn’t much fetch in these waters, so we just chugged along, the kids both slept a while, and before we knew it we were the only ones anchored along a two mile stretch of beach called Playa La Bonanza. We had dinner, washed the kids, and got ready for bed while the wind slowly disappeared. Now we’re just hoping the Coromuel stays away tonight.
