Red Sky at Night

You have heard many a tall tale from Mexico but Rog assures me that this one is true. After a brief stop in Bahia Santa Maria to transfer fuel from the jerry cans to the main tanks the team took off for San Juanico where they were met by local pongas not long after the anchor went down. Yes, the fishermen had lobster to sell. The price??? A mere 100 pesoes would get them 4 lobsters and after you convert that to dollars it came to $2.00 US dollars each! Jay was the official photographer for the trip, Andy played chef, Larry was head mechanic and Rog was the Captain and trimmer. My feelings are a bit hurt though because Rog keeps raving about the meals Andy prepared for the group.


After three days at anchor in Turtle Bay the guys headed back out. That first night as they cleared Cedroes they enjoyed this beautiful sunset. Red sky at night did indeed become a sailor's delight.

Rog found this ponga to be most interesting. Check out the wheels used to pull it up on the beach. Really!!!
