April 6
Strong winds forced us to leave San Evaristo and tack back and forth up the channel until the winds died just after was passed Isla San Jose. Then we motored up to Los Gatos arriving near sunset in a crowded little bay. What an entrance we made. Circling the boats to find a good spot to drop the anchor Jim accidentally lost one of his shoes overboard. While he jumped in the dinghy to rescue it I continued to circle the boats and then pick him up. We continued to circle the boats as each skipper gave his suggestion how we should anchor (away from their boat). It was an embarrassing and frustrating end to a long day but we learned a valuable lesson about anchoring. As the sun began to set Manuel approached in his la lancha to introduce himself as Alex’s friend and would Jim like a fresh fish for dinner. He left promising to bring him a langusta tomorrow.
