We sailed out of La Paz to Puerto Balandra for a bumpy but still pleasant evening on 19 December. A first experience with a Coromuel wind that blows all night was a useful teaching aid – do not anchor where the wind waves will come into the anchorage!  The bumping, clanging and crashing noises in addition to some dramatic boat movements meant that sleep quality was lower than it should have been. However, the morning was bright, clear and warm with just enough wind to propel us to Caleta Partida. Always a terrific spot.
