We cast off from Club de Pesca at 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. After exiting the bay through Boca Grande, we were able to have a really pleasant sail to Isla Grande in the Rosarios. It was wonderful to escape the heat and humidity of the city.
After we picked up a mooring ball on the south side of Isla Grande, we went for a snorkel in the warm tropical water. The evening was lovely, with a cool breeze. I decided to cook in the galley, lentils with vegetables and rice as well as a black bean soup for a later day. It is amazing how quickly it gets hot in the galley. Sweat was pouring off me. I cooled down after dinner, however, and the temperature in our cabin was so nice that we didn't even need the fans.
The sun has been up for three hours now, and it is blazing hot again. The intensity of the sun at 10 degrees latitude is fierce. Peter spent an hour in the water scraping barnacles off the hull. I generously cooked breakfast, and now it is time to hop in the water to cool off before we take off for Punta San Bernardo. No one around--time for skinny dipping!
