We arrived at San Carlos just as the sun was rising over the famous Tetas de Cabras (goats teats). We anchored in the now too small anchorage, due to the addition of many more moorings. Luckily, we were able to get a slip in the marina while we await our scheduled haulout into dry storage. We met another cruising couple who were also going on the hard for the summer. The wind came up every afternoon and blew 20 to 25 knots directly into our slip. We took Iron Rose out to pump out the head and get ready for our 10 am haul out. The winds were calm. The marina called to reschedule due to problems with their large trailer. Later that day they called and scheduled 3 pm as the time to haul the boat. The wind was up over 20 and blowing into our downwind slip so I questioned whether we would be able to turn, however, with the help of a talented pangero and his helpers, we arrived safely at the haul out dock.
