Zak took a total guess at what might be a good research site and stopped at a little rock outcropping off of the south end of Isla San Marcos and had what was easily the best underwater adventures so far this trip. Sea caves and unexpected beaches, hordes of fish, all sorts of features to explore. Click any of the pictures below for a larger veiw.

We stopped at the NOLS base in coyote bay to try to buy some snacks from their rations room but it turns out that a group of NASA astronauts was doing a team building exercise before their launch in a few weeks so we left the boat and went to find some lunch totally forgeting about the full moon tidal range. When we got back from lunch our boat was hard aground which is pretty embarassing in front of both NOLS and NASA so we played it off like we meant to do it and set to work scrubbing the bottom of the hull which was now conveniently exposed.

By sailing North and then west we were able to work with the NorthWest wind instead of against it. Sailed all Night and arrived at Coyote Bay just before sunrise.

Cooking on such a small boat really takes up a lot of space. We cook on a campstove in the cockpit and since food is stored in various compartments all over the boat preparing each meal usually involves tearing the entire boat apart. nonetheless we are eating pretty well; Our fishing licenses cost $50 American each so we are trying to get our money's worth out of them.
For Breakfast we usually do potatoes and onions with eggs and garlic, sometimes peppers if we have them.
People on other boats have been extremely generous with inviting us over to dinner and giving us extra fresh food.

We are not the Bocce ball champions of San Juanico bay. It turns out Robert and Virginia off the windship harmony are very very good at Bocce. We had an epic hunt today spear fishing when I lost the tip to our only good spear in the side of a yellow snapper with a lot of fight in him. Zak then proceded to stalk this wounded fish across the reef and nail it with the flounder tiped spear (no barb) against a rock; not only did we get our spear back but this fish was delicous.
