We sailed up to the entrance to ABQ just about 9:00 as expected, dropped sails and motored in. There was still a stiff breeze from the NE so it made keeping course difficult and keeping course was very important as the entrance is littered with coral heads just waiting to bite our bow. During the worst section we had Deb on one bow, Sandy on the other and Will reading off the depth soundings as I glanced back and forth between the course on the chart plotter and the water ahead. We made it in without difficulty and anchored in our favorite spot over perfect white sand in only 6' of water. After we were anchored, I took our papers in to clear in with the military. ABQ is not an official port of entry and they cannot grant partique, but they like to see your paperwork anyway. Technology has changed things however. Instead of having to go to their 'office' and fill out forms, they just met me at the beach and used their iPad to photograph the various papers. Just like that, done! After appropriate toasts to Neptune & Aeolius, I dove off the bow and drifted back to the stern with what proved to be a VERY strong current - too strong to enjoy snorkeling in. Instead we took dink over the the 'fisherman' island (no one was there) and walked the beach and hung out in the shallow water. As we were relaxing on the shallows, 'Stubby' our semi-pet stingray from last trip glided by. At least I assume it was 'Stubby' - how many tailless stingrays can there be? Back at the boat, I went up the mast to fix the lazy jacks that had broken during the sail up. Using the 'Mast Climber' you sort of inch- worm up a fixed line (the topping lift in this case) lifting first your boson's chair and then your feet. My new knees worked great, but the wind picked up as soon as I started and I swung around quite a bit. It's amazing how just a little rocking of the boat is magnified when you are 50-60' up in the air! I got the the lazy jack line through its fixed block on the mast and tied it back to myself for the trip down. I also retrieved the pieces of the radar reflector that disintegrated during the first night. All in all a successful trp up the mast and back down. Thank-you Dr. Noordsij for the knees! We celebrated arrival at ABQ with homemade chocolate truffles that our friend Juanita had made. She had said they were for the first night, but it was too sloppy underway so we saved them for our first night at anchor in ABQ. Thanks Juanita - They are AWESOME We'll spend a couple days here waiting for the wind to shift back to E which is predicted for Mon or Tues. Hopefully it will calm down so we can snorkel / hookah dive.
