Where do I begin? We departed Ensenada with a great weather window literally a motor boat trip due to lack of wind. Seas reported to be less than 5 feet. Sooooooo……… Let me first explain what the devil a Chubasco is. According to AI a chubasco is a Spanish word for sudden, violent rain squall with thunder and lightning, common during the rainy season in Mexico and Central America, often described as a fierce, intense downpour that arrives quickly and leaves just as fast. It can also refer to very strong winds and heavy localized storms, sometimes reaching hurricane-like intensity in northern Mexico. Normally this happens in the Sea of Cortez. Well weather is weather and the chubasco decided to visit the Pacific Ocean for a visit exactly where we were. We later receive ed reports from other boats heading south with us of recorded winds of at least 65 mph! The most wind I have ever encountered at sea. Sosiego was built to cross oceans she has convinced me of this attribute. For the first time in 20 years of Ocean sailing we deployed our storm trysail. This is a very small triangular sail of heavy canvas just for sailing during storms. The boom is lashed to the deck and the sail is independent of the main sail. Once I had deployed the trysail I lashed the tiller to leeward and went below to ride it out. The motion eased as we lay hove to but the boat still moved erratically as we fell off square sided waves. Lets just say we where still finding odds and ends that where launched across the cabin two days later. Then just as quickly as it started it stopped and we were left in a washing machine of an ocean and had to start the motor due to lack of wind. The following day we arrived in San Quintene it was calm and safe. The bay is large with room for many boats. We dodge lobster pots and found good holding in 25 feet of water outside the surf line. Time for a well deserved rest. Keep tuned as we make are way to Bahia de Tortuga next.
