Yacht Club Peruano, Callao, Peru
We finally arrived at Yacht Club Peruano, La Punta, Callao, Peru. Now we are having our CDA drinks as we sit on a mooring waiting for our agent, Jorge, to arrive to pick up our paperwork so that he may check us into the country.
It feels good have arrived. Today was a long motor but very uneventful except for watching the huge flocks of birds head out to the fishing grounds. We were able to communicate with TRAMAR vessel traffic control for Callao. At first they did not answer when we were 20 miles out but they did at 10 miles. Per their instructions we passed the sea buoy for traffic separation into Callao and as Rich was about to call on the VHF they called to verify that we had passed the buoy.
We anchored near the mooring field for the yacht club and took our showers. As I was drying off, the launch came by and told us we had to move to a mooring. We tried to plead being tired but they would not have it so we moved in the dark and I managed to snag the mooring line with the boat hook on the second pass.
Both of us are looking forward to dinner and a good nights sleep in our bed. I put the quilt on the bed as well. This is the first time we will be sleeping with more than just a sheet on the bed in the boat since we left the United States in 2011.
But for now, we are safe and secure after our passage of 10 days and 1005 nautical miles.
Adios amigos.
