Still in Turtle Bay

Still in Turtle Bay there is a weather system coming through with 35knt winds expected. we are all set with an extra anchor line on our anchor and an a 2nd anchor added to the end of the chain for extra weight.
We went to shore - had to do a surf landing, which is quite the trick. we managed to keep us and boat dry until we went to leave and we were a little slow and got hit with the surf. Filled our boat with sea water and poor Emma (who was in the bow) and Maya got totally soaked. I also got soaked but I was still in the water trying to help push the dingy in deeper when the surf got me. Thank god it's not cold out!! Our experienced friends (Tillicum) also got wet in their dingy. We will get it figured
out!!
The Bahia de Tortugas village is quite small and poor. Talk about a culture shock. Main road is a dirt road and the main stores, well you can't really tell the difference between the homes and stores. Learned to bring our own TP and wet ones!!
Thank god for our friends who speak a little Spanish - I am picking a few words up here and there and can figure out how to read some. I think this stop has been an eye opener for Steve and the kids. ( remember I've been to China so I wasn't caught to off guard).
Do plan on posting photos when I get to internet. Thank god for the ham and pactor modem we bought . to think I was initially against the Pactor modem!! How stupid of me.
