Left Banderas Bay
20 February 2011 | Chamela
Becky/84 degrees
Because I had internet, I pre-posted some blogs. Currently we have no internet.
We left Banderas Bay, La Cruz and Puerto Vallarta after lunch Tuesday. We sailed all night, actually had some pretty good winds were up to 30 knots. Denny said he saw a high speed of 11 knots surfing down a wave. We had two reefs sailing with the main only. We arrived in Chamela at 8 am. This bay is beautiful with waves crashing on the beach.

Boom and boom brake.
Last night we had two booms that startled us both. The lst was right at sunset and caught us completely off guard. A thunderous splash sounded right next to the boat. We turned to see the impression of a whale maybe 25 yards from the boat. We watched in amazement as the whale came out of the water again in our wake. You never have a camera when you need one.
The second boom was a crash jib in the middle of the night. Becky came up on deck so startled she couldn't sleep any more. So we changed shifts and I went to bed. Lesson learned. Crash jib when tired, Get relief.
Now were sitting in Chamela. Another sandy beach in Paradise.
