Coming into Bahia Santa Maria, Judy scouted a good spot for us to anchor.

The first thing we had to work on was finding a gooseneck nut to replace the one lost in the middle of the night.

Doh, need a different nut! Hmmm, where can we go?

After checking Cuba Libre III and another boat, the fine folks aboard Puma were recommended and they were ready to help. It turned out that they had multiple nuts that would work and let us take 3 with us. The nylock nut turned out to be the best fit. Jesse and Michael installed it with a little threadlocker and bada boom bada bang we were back in business. (Later we brought by a 6 pack of precious Bayern beer from Missoula, MT).

Then Judy had the great idea to go to shore for a little beach combing. She had heard from our friend Marilyn Anderson of Gate 11 that the sand dollars were beautiful here. What a gorgeous day and we found a lot of really spectacular shells.

Brings a whole new meaning to the words "Crab Balls."
Back at the boat later that night we watched the full moon rise...
Dinner after leg 2. Hot, brown and plenty of it!
Baby cat!
