Sunrise with the moon on Wednesday, September 14 

When we woke up, it was rolly in the anchorage. The rolling made us so lethargic, so we had a hard time getting moving in the morning. Chris let us know that he’d decided to continue north today, so we said our goodbyes… or more accurately, our “see ya laters,” since we will see him again sooner or later.  

In another fortuitous coincidence, four boats that we were friendly with, including one of the families, happened to be two anchorages south of us, in a bay called Ensenada El Pescador. We headed over to join them. It was a quick half-hour ride.

I liked the La Mona anchorage. Mostly, we played at the beach. I had fun with with the kids on Gen M and Double Deuce. We went to a costume party.  I liked the party at first, but toward the end, some adults were obnoxiously drunk. I played some D&D with Gen M, which was fun.

J’ai aimé l’ancrage de La Mona. Principalement, nous avons joué à la plage. Je me suis amusé avec les enfants de Gen M et Double Deuce. Nous sommes allés à une fête déguisée. J’ai aimé la fête au début, mais vers la fin, plusieurs adultes étaient désagréablement ivres. J’ai joué un peu à D&D et c’était amusant.
