Last night was a bit exciting. I was roused out of my bunk by a great crash. The captain also awoke, and stood in an inch of water. After a quick check of the boat, it seems that the water in the bilge had sloshed into his cabin, so there was no hole in the boat. But he asked me to use the manual bilge pump to clear the bilge, as he determined that water was entering into it from the lazarette. After a half hour of pumping, the pump became clogged. We decided to leave off until daylight.
In the morning the winds had died down and it was warm and calm. We came to anchor in Bahia Santa Maria, cleaned the pumps, did some general housekeeping and take a nap. It is quite nice here. Quiet, protected from the winds. The stars are shining clearly, but there is no moon, so it is very dark. We shall sail after dinner to take advantage of the night land breeze.
