Georgie caught a Porgy

Well, we still have internet even though we are in a bay on an island about 20mi from La Paz. We are leaving today, Saturday to go to another bay further up to hopefully have better protection from the nightime 20kt winds that came from the S last night. We rocked like crazy all night long! I did catch a couple fish from the boat though. One was the Porgie which is good eating and the other was a bass-like fish called a Cabrilla. We had them for brunch. Our friends Dana and Micah on Audacious and Linda and I went for a long 3mi hike to the other side of the island to Bonanza cove. It was like being in the desert on the way there and we were very glad to get back to the boat. When we got back to our dinghys, the tide went out so we had to drag them quite a ways to the water. Luckily, we have wheels on ours that helped out. Had a beautiful sunset and went down below. Soon after, the winds changed direction and blew hard all night. VERY unerving! So today we go up to a different anchorage at Caleta Partida which should have better protection. We may not have internet at the next bay.
