It was almost perfect except for the squall that came out to greet us just as we were entering the bay. We thought we were going to reach the anchorage before it hit but we were still 3 nm out when it hit. We lost sight of the land, the wind increased to around 30 knots., and the rain started pelting us. Almost the same as when we arrived in PR. Hope this don\u2019t happen every time we get to a new port. With no sails up, just running under bare poles we were moving along at close to 5 kn., a bit scary considering that I couldn\u2019t see I couldn\u2019t see other boats. I turned and sailed large circles in the bay hoping for the rain to pass. It lasted for approximately 15 minutes, then continued west over the island.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20140723015043\/http:\/\/svmistress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Image000013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Image00001\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20140723015043im_\/http:\/\/svmistress.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Image00001_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Image00001\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have arrived in Salinas, after having a celebratory drink we got to work cleaning up the mess that Mother Nature caused us.
