Sunday evening. December 4th., 2016. Second Sunday of Advent.

The wind turned out to be right on the nose for the next 20 miles. At about 20 knots. I don’t need this. I went back to the marina and will try again early in the morning.

In order to get an early start I went to the 8 pm Saturday evening service. Padre Roberto Moreno did not seem at all to be bothered by the small attendance, compared to the jammed 10.30 a.m. service on the first Advent Sunday. This picture of this evening’s sunset looks like a tree, a Christmas tree? And there is purple in the sky, the color of the second advent candle or the Bethlehem candle. And the sliver of the first quarter moon could be interpreted as the star over Bethlehem.

Sunday, December 4, 2016. On the road again

I finally have a decent chart system. Richard on “Adios” helped me install the GE2kap software to use Google Earth pictures to overlay in the charts where more details of anchorages/harbors are needed. The majority of sailors use CM93 rough chart outlines under these pictures. And for some unexplained reason I now also have some very detailed charts for commercial deep sea ports in CM-93.

It rained again hard tonight and I collected a half gallon of good drinking water. It is slowly starting to clear now.

Next story from Bahia de Navidad. See what St. Nicholas has in store for me.
