Back in El Oculto

Unfortunately time is running away and we have only so many days left until Helene and Peter have to fly home again, so we only really had two nights and one full day to spend in Laguna Grande. We got the two up really early and send them ashore with Harry on Zydeco to hike up the steep hill to see the magnificent view from the top, where you can see almost the whole peninsula and to Isla Margarita. They had a great time while we relaxed and cleaned boat. The wind was howling all day again and the
constant whining of Maxine our wind generator was in our ears so that when it finally calmed down and was as quite as it could be our ears were ringing and we couldn't really hear the quietness. Helene and Peter had never seen the movie Captain Ron, which we think is a must movie to have on any boat. No matter how many times we've watched it already we still get a good chuckle out of it. Helene and Peter sure enjoyed it as well. Early this morning we headed out to the Golfo again and sailed all the
way back to El Oculto. We hoped being able to pull the Spinnaker up, but the wind was a bit too strong and gusty. The seas in the Golfo was about 3 feet and towards the opening rose to 5 footers but out at sea again it was a 1 to 2 foot chop. We enjoyed being able to sail for a change. Coming back into the anchorage we noticed a familiar boat, Dreamtime was anchored at the end of the bay. Poor guys lost the mast above the spreaders, a boaters nightmare. Good thing is nobody got hurt. We'll be here for tonight but will head to El Farro tomorrow for a last night out before heading back into Puerto La Cruz.
