Almost perfect
09 March 2011 | Yelapa
Feb 21
Yelapa was a magical spot, and we would have stayed longer but for the anchorage – as many people do, we paid for a mooring ball because the water was almost 200 feet deep a couple of hundred metres off the beach! Also this was a very rolly place. Our first night was tolerable so we didn’t worry about a stern anchor (which would have been tricky anyway with the depth) but the second was maddening because there wasn’t enough breeze to hold us perpendicular to the swell, and we ended up taking in on the quarter. The night ended with Mike in the settee sea berth with leecloth to hold him still and Marni spread-eagled on the main bunk in an effort to increase stability with as much body-to-bed contact as possible!
