Cruising with the crew of CALOU on the Baja Ha-ha and Pacific Puddle Jump

Arrival at Mag Bay

02 November 2008

We've finally arrived at Mag Bay and dropped the hook at about 11 p.m.. We had a steady 20 knots the last two days and it continues to blow in the anchorage. We're looking forward to setting foot on land tomorrow.

I have a few projects to do while in Mag Bay. The watermaker is not operating at normal efficiency but I'm sure I just have to change out the filters. We haven't changed the filters since we left Tiburon. (The filters can be washed and reused, by the way).

I need to check the engine oil level and see how much was consumed during the hours we ran the motor on this last passage.

A shackle pin popped off on one of the lifelines so I need to replace it.

The foot of the jib, near the tack, needs to be repaired. The UV covering got shredded on a turnbuckle. I have a sail repair sewing kit on board which should do the trick. I think the shredded jib managed to pull off the cotter ring leading to the loss of the shackle pin also.

We rented a car and drove 6 days to see Guadalajara, visiting many small mountain villages along the way. The rugged mountain scenery was delightful.
