    We had two long and gentle days of light (8-10kts) wind from Bahia Tortugas to Bahia Santa Maria.

    Now that I'm in a great spot for spearfishing with time to fish.... It's a zesty 15kt with gusts near 20.

    Phooey.

    On the plus side, the weather makes for spectacular sunrises/sets! And rest is good, too.

    Being in Bahia Santa Maria is restful and included recreation, minor repairs, and very welcome sleep.

    Frustratingly, the 2 nights there had a more or less constant 20 knot wind. Glorious sailing weather! Absolute crap for spearfishing, dinghy-ing, and not-that-ideal for beach frolics.

    Of course the morning of departure the wind was off and a heavy fog replaced it. Sigh.
