Turtle Beach
After a 2-1/2 day 360 mile passage of good sailing we arrived at turtle bay. We had good winds nearly the entire passage and it was an easy though tiring trip. Rest is limited by the need to watch Cooper. When Cooper is awake watching him is more work than being on watch. Cooper thinks it’s fun to walk across the cabin when the boat is rolling and pitching. He is pretty good at it but we worry that he will take a flyer and crash into something, so we watch him pretty closely at sea. Night watches are more restful.

Turtle bay was a nice stop with a little village. We were able to send out a position report at the internet café. The keyboards in Mexico are a bit different and that surprised me. The Baha Ha Ha fleet put on a pot luck beach party which was a lot of fun. We saw a dingy do a perfect pitch pole coming through the surf. I’m sure the picture will appear in the next Lattitude 38. Cooper had a blast playing in the estuary that cut through the beach and ran into the surf. There are several other kids in the Ha Ha but they are all older. The locals seem intrigued by Cooper and like to have their kids say Hola and play with him. We ware in Turtle Bay for 2 days before leaving for Bahia Santa Maria
