Tuesday, March 20. Isn't that what the cruise ships say? Well, today really was! It didn't start that way, however. We got up at midnight. I had everything set before we went to bed, jack lines rigged, dinghy secured all lifelines up, etc. I fired up the engines, raised the main and prepared to weigh anchor. Except that there was a HUGE chunk of coral that somehow got wound not only around the chain, but the bridle as well. It measured at least 2' in all directions and the windlass had trouble lifting it. No way we could knock it loose from standing n the tramp and poking it with the boat hook! So, I launched the dinghy, drove it around and in between the hulls to wrestle with the monster. With moderate difficulty I got the briddle unhooked from the chain, unwound from the coral and handed up to Deb. Then I had to lift the chain to try to unwrap it. Fortunately we were in only 18' of water; unfortunately our new 26 lb. kellet was attached beynd where the coral was wrapped so I had to lift 18' of chain and the kellet. Also unfortunately, there was a pretty strong current putting as strain on the chain. Somehow I got enough slack to loop it over the coral and it worked.The monster sprung free and headed for the bottom. I re-stowed the dinghy on its davits, powered forward while Deb raised the rest of the chain and anchor and we were (Finally) off. We motored out around the reef and headed for the Albuquerque Cays. Salida left Bocas about the same time. They were about 12 miles West of us and 4 or 5 North. The day delay to avoid rain cost us about 5 kts of wind but also gave us calmer seas. They were 3'-5', mostly 3' with a rare 10' thrown in to make sure we were paying attention. It was beautifully sunny with wind less than 10 kts. From the NE. We motor sailed most of the day with all sails up making 5-6 kts. By evening the wind picked up and we were able to turn off the engine and just sail which made it quieter for the off watch person to sleep. We truly could not have asked for a more beautiful or fun day at sea.
