There was a tropical storm in the Pacific, Javier, that was affecting the weather up here. It tried to rain several times throughout the morning, but each time the light rain started, it quickly stopped again. It oppressively hot and humid all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were all lethargic, had a hard time focusing, and were a little bit grouchy. It was hard for all of us to get anything done, and Keith struggled with his schoolwork. Christi called some people back home and found out it was just as hot and almost as humid in San Diego.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Christi was too lethargic to cook, we had lunch at the bar. After lunch, the other two families came out for a playdate. The kids played onshore while the parents watched from a table at the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185-768x566.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185-1536x1132.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185-2048x1509.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3495403E-803D-4B40-86B5-FF8EAF48D185-407x300.jpg 407w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few other cruisers joined the adults. The primary talk was about another storm currently forming in the Pacific, called Kay, which had the potential to turn into a hurricane. Some of the forecast models predicted that the hurricane could make it all the way up to us. We talked about the likelihood of that happening and what each of our preparation plans were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a sunset photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0B3CC41F-86BE-4BE8-AF04-42687E47821C.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0B3CC41F-86BE-4BE8-AF04-42687E47821C-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0B3CC41F-86BE-4BE8-AF04-42687E47821C-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0B3CC41F-86BE-4BE8-AF04-42687E47821C-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0B3CC41F-86BE-4BE8-AF04-42687E47821C-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0B3CC41F-86BE-4BE8-AF04-42687E47821C-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0B3CC41F-86BE-4BE8-AF04-42687E47821C-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday morning, we awoke to heavy wind and light rain, vestiges from Javier. The temperature was significantly cooler than it has been lately, only in the 80s instead of the 90s, but it was still super humid and sticky. We were grateful for the rain. This area has been parched and the gentle rain would bring the area back to life without causing flooding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the morning radio net, the chatter was mostly about Kay, which looked like it was becoming a full hurricane. While the models disagreed about how severe Kay would be by the time it arrived in Bahia de Los Angeles, the models seemed to agree that the outer edges of Kay would hit us on Thursday or Friday. It is unusual for hurricanes to make it this far north, but it does happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned earlier, Don Juan is an all-weather anchorage and is considered a \u201churricane hole.\u201d The majority of boats on the net said they intended to ride out the hurricane there. Many boats left Mona. Some went to The Village to stock up on supplies, then would go to Don Juan prior to the storm. Some headed straight to Don Juan. We decided to wait until tomorrow to go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was windy and rainy all day. This gives you a sense of how dense the cloud coverage was<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6542224B-8F0E-49CF-A178-94E6E7D3D95F.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At no point was the rain super hard, but it was hard enough to keep us from wanting to go out and hard enough to rinse the dirt and salt off the boat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric adjusted the alternator belt in the morning. It appears the vibration issue is finally fixed. In the afternoon, one of the families came over to play D&amp;D.
