After a quick shopping trip to stock up
on veggies, we took the long slow ride back out of La Paz. Again
attempting to experience a few different anchorages, we chose to
anchor at San Gabriel. A windstorm called a coromuel kicked up
during the night which made for a sleep deprived night. Next morning
we awoke groggy and were very surprised to find we had drug anchor
early that morning. Marcus was checking the depthsounder and said we
were ok as we were in 15 feet of water. Within moments I felt a
little “bump” and as I was asking if that was us hitting the
bottom, we both felt a stronger bump. Oh yes we were no longer in 15
feet of water and with the hobbyhorse effect the waves had on the
boat, we were bouncing on the bottom.
I'm pretty sure we set a record in
firing up the boat and pulling up the anchor. With that narrow
escape, we headed North on a nice breeze.
