Having to scoot fast.

I now know one of the reasons why the sailing Gods didn’t want me to cross the Pacific this year.

The La Playeta anchorage is a safe anchorage most of the year with the exception of the rainy season in a Southerly Swell & wind.

Well night before last it really started to blow, and the seas kicked up, I should have got out faster but I “Bit the Bullet” and didn’t get a wink of sleep during a very turbulent night. The next morning I decided to “bug out” and had a hell of a time getting my chain up, it took about 45 minutes. I really need to get an anchor windless in these Pacific conditions. I got away with not having one in the Caribbean with no tides, but this was entirely a different story.

Anyway, I motored (Seems okay) up to the Balboa Yacht Club and grabbed a mooring.

Cheers everyone.
