Puke and Rally.

We sailed from Evaristo to Aqua-Verde.  There was a lot of residual swell from the previous blow so we bypassed one of our favorite anchorages Los Gatos.  It looked like it would be very rolly with the swell size and direction.  Plus we knew we had only a day or two before more northerlies were predicted and we wanted to be in Escondido during the blow.  As it was, Coop blew chunks in the cockpit.  We learned that Coop was what another cruiser called a “Puke and Rally” kind of sailor as he was just fine afterwards.  When we arrived Cooper and Susan had a good hike ashore and saw the goat herd.  I met them on the beach after comparing weather notes with another boat.  We found a sea turtle shell and a great stick that Cooper used as a spear. 

Cooper is becoming a master beachcomber and explorer  A lot of the finds including an entire hermit crab colony in a plastic drawer find their way aboard WIZ, at least temporarily.
