Somewhere in Nicaragua
Oh no, not again. So we are learning a lot about keeping a boat moored in Bahia San Juan and the Dirty Sanchez is taking a beating in the process. This morning, about 10am, the rough seas caused the mooring to break and the Dirty washed up on the beach.
By the time we heard about it, she had already been tossed around in the shorebreak, beat up, torn down and in shambles.
Once the tide dropped, we were able to get the truck on the beach with the trailer and haul her off to the bodega. We’ve been here before and we’ll get her running once again. At least we know what to do now. Thanks to all those who called to help out and especially Dale Dagger, who continues to help me in my endeavor to own a boat in Nicaragua.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos. Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from Colorados. It was clean this AM, but notably smaller. The sets still had enough size to offer up tubitos.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
