Jimena watch

We are in Puerto Escondido, the area’s best hurricane hole, watching the weather.

The National Hurricane Center is forecasting this to be a very strong hurricane for the north pacific. Currently it is at Cat. 4 and may reach Cat 5, but should be weakened by the time it gets as far north as we are.

 

The current forecasts show that it should go on the west side of the Baja while we are on the east side. We are hoping that the storm heads further west away from us and not east towards us.

 

We will be spending the next couple of days getting the boat stripped down and prepared for the potential high winds. The bay will protect us from storm surge, but we will still most likely get heavy wind and rain. We are in a good location and should be fine, we have plenty of time to prepare ourselves and the boat.

 

We will send more updates later.

Long time no update.
We are at Puerto Escondido, in a bay called the waiting room. This is a small semi-protected bay just outside the large protected bay of Puerto Escondido itself. The advantage is that it is not controlled by the fee happy people that run the government owned Singlar Marinas.

Mysti our granddaughter has returned back to the states leaving an empty spot on the boat. We had a good time with her on board. We hope that she enjoyed it too, and that she had fond memories and some good stories to take with her. She was great company on board.

Another update should be coming soon, plus some new photos are in the works.
