Out and back

Ok, today we finally set out. After showers and a final weather check the captain announced we were heading back to get the boat ready to set out. The big chore was getting the outboard off the dingy and the dingy up on the bow deck. We used a spare halyard but it was still pretty heavy. Then we went through the check list and set loose from the mooring. Forecast called for 10 knot south winds and seas 1 to 3 feet. We tried putting out the headsail but our heading was straight into the wind so we rolled it in and motored. The waves were a bit bigger than 3' and our progress was about 2 knots. The captain decided after going out maybe 2 miles that we needed to head back.. I'm not sure conditions haven't improved since we were out there but no matter.. We gat the same mooring and took the dingy off the bow and put the outboard back on and went back to the marina. It's very calm now and likely the seas have laid down as well.. Wind was to switch SW during the night which would have allowed us to sail or at least motor sail.. Oh well.. Now we wait for the next weather window.. We were planning on Mexico after all.. I hope that thought continues as I'd really like to check out the original route.
