The sail from Puerto Chiapus to El Salvador was sunny and on a close haul riding the wind at 10 to 15 knots. As you can see in the picture we took water onto the deck with the wind waves. The usual weather for this season, in the waters we plied calls for motoring most of the 220 nautical miles we covered. Rick and I enjoyed sailing, but Snoball was a little sea sick. She quickly recovers with a treat of wet food and copious amounts of petting.
When we arrived at the bar entrance to the tributary a pilot and Bill met us on a jet ski. This is necessary to lead us over the deepest part of the bar and through the breaking waves with proper timing. As you can see Talaria cut the waves well with our great Captain Rick at the helm. I thought it was more fun than riding a bull in a Texas bar. There is a little anxiety at crossing this bar and going through the waves.
