Maiden voyage in the kayak

December 3-4. Isla Partida

Quick trip for an overnight to Ensenada Cardonal on Partida with friends, Helene and Norm.  Beautiful bay and very calm seas for the day.  John and Norm got the kayak down, so it was in the water for the first time.  

We had a first, a nearby sailboat (see her below) had "cat overboard drills" during the afternoon.  They have 4 cats on board, two lines hanging down in to the water for the cats.  You can probably imagine the complaining by the cats, one in particular.  Quite the screeching!

After the very calm day, the winds came up around 10 pm, just in time for bed.  Anchor held, but we had a loud night with slapping water against the side of the boat.  I think Context is a bit noisier than Carefree was.  I slept on the couch for a little more quiet.
