The first jaunt up to Mag Bay went well enough.  I have been anchored at Man O War cove inside Mag Bay for a couple days now sitting out some strong winds.  The forecast for the immediate area has been 15 kts or so pretty constantly with gusts as high as 30 kts.  So far I've been seeing the constant 15 and gusts up to 21. Though there have been some short periods that sounded stronger when I couldn't see the wind instrument. 

I'm sort of on the fence for what the next step is. It looks like there may be a little bit of a gap starting Thursday to let me get up to the next stop. I was going to shoot for San Juanico (115 miles or so), then on to Asuncion (another 115 ish) but I think I'm going to go straight through from Mag Bay to Asuncion. I kind of want to get some fuel just as a safety buffer while I can and there is a guy that delivers clean fuel by panga at Asuncion. Supposedly the guy that used to do it in Turtle Bay was killed by a cartel for not paying up his percentage.  Not sure if that is truth or rumor, but everyone agrees the fuel guy from turtle bay is "not around" any longer. 

The forecast is quite a ways out still, but it looks like after the window to jump up to Asuncion closes I'll have a few more days to wait it out. If the conditions are favorable I'll do a short day hop to Turtle Bay which is a good all weather anchorage to wait things out as needed.  

If anyone has connections to arrange about 5 days of flat calm seas and light winds that would be great!
