The Weather is Frightful

We are loving the Loreto Fest but just wish the weather had held for the entire weekend. Late Saturday the wind started picking up but the forecast for Sunday through Tuesday did not sound good. True to the forecast the wind in the anchorage reached a high of 32knots where we were on a mooring ball! Hold on tight. Rog did attach a second bow line to the mooring ball for safety and were glad we did. Overnight two boats chafed through their lines and got set adrift. Several anchored boats found themselves floating free too. Not a good night.

Today the wind subsided down to 24 knts until late in the afternoon. Finally it has blown through and we can been thankful for the six ton block holding us in place. Tomorrow we will do cleaning chores and prepare ourselves to leave on Thursday.
