SV/SOMF: Los Gatos!

Thursday November 18th,

Well we pulled up anchor at Bahia Agua Verde around 8:40am this morning, we were going to stay another night because it is such a great anchorage, but after listing to the weather on the SSB we decided to get a move on south before winds start to pick up like Don on SV Summer Passage was saying. We had a great motor sail down for 18 nm to Los Gatos, which is one of my favorite anchorages be have been in. On our trip down caught and released the smallest skipjack tuna I have ever seen, I don’t even know how it got hooked. We also caught and kept a dorado, it was a female but it was about 8-10 lbs and since we have been good and have released two smaller females, we thought we could keep this one, now we just have to release the next two females that we catch. Yeah we caught some fish…yummy lunch today!

When we pulled into the anchorage around noon or so and the swells were really picking up from the east and we started rolling pretty hard. We were able to drop the hook and start fixing that fish lunch, there were only some kayakers on the beach. Later that afternoon two other sailboats came into the anchorage, we were not able to go to shore, because it was two rough to get the dingy motor onto the boat.
