As we approached Mexico our drive shaft broke. We were 10 miles from the Isla Contoy lighthouse which was to be our first anchorage and our first sight of land in 5 days. We could just barely see the lighthouse low on the horizon, but with not ability to proceed except the sail power, what would have been a 2 hour trip took 14 hours. Stron winds and currents were on our nose and pushing us back so progress was slow. We tacked back and forth thur the night and reached the lighthouse anchorage about 2am on a moonless, foggy and dark night. It was our first time to set anchor from the sail and fortunately not as difficult as we had feared. We got there exhausted and relieved. This was the scene we awakened to the next morning. As it turns out Isla Contoy is a national park and bird sanctuary and for awhile a nice sanctaury for us.
