We pulled into Mag Bay at daybreak after two days of sailing down from Turtle Bay. We had so much wind that had to roll in our head sail to slow us down and still arrived at 4 am. Because there are a lot of fish traps in the area we hung off the entrance until daylight. That wasn't exactly fun as we had gusts up to 30 knots and the seas were kicking up.

The sail down was good. Ken had two handlines out and caught a fish. He also lost two lures. Something big grabbed one because the hand line sprung back violently and snagged in our lifelines about 15 feet forward of the stern.

The wind is still really screaming and it is coming out of the N to NE. There is really no protection from wind out of that direction in Mag Bay except for a little peninsula called Swam Point at the village of Puerto Alcatraz. We are anchored there now and are comfortably waiting out the wind.

When we pulled up there was a fisherman in a panga out checking his traps. He soon headed our way and offered us a lobster. He didn't speak any English and our Spanish is poor so we thought that he wanted to sell us the lobster. I went and got money and he shook his head no. He just wanted to say hi and give us a treat. We offered him a gift of a coke and two peanut butter cups. He was beaming.
