We finished our resupplying at LA Bay (some food and more gas), and
moved east to Puerto Don Juan - a natural hurricane hole. it is a
natural harbor with a dog-leg to get in. But it provides protection
against waves from any direction. And it reduces wind too.
Here is LA Bay, out first touch of civilization in a week, and last supply base before Santa Rosalia:

A good thing it reduces wind as we had some strong wind getting from LA Bay to Puerto Don Juan over here and well into the evening. We were able to sail almost the whole way with only a double-reefed main. It saved us some gas and was just as quick as motoring. Plus, that's what we came down here to do!
Here is Patrick at the helm while we're getting blown along:
We had the place to ourselves and were able to enjoy a bottle of Epic Brewing Company beer, and a lovely sunset. Plus, we can sleep in tomorrow and take it easy as it is an easy 15 miles to the Las Animas Slot.
