We left Ensenada on Sunday morning and sailed for most of the day. The wind died after dark so we motored all night long. Same for Monday.

Monday afternoon I saw a huge sea turtle! Another first was that we had 5 little squid on the deck this morning. We offered one to Elliot but he refused. They are really big, blue eyes!

Now for the bad news. We blew a panel out of our main overnight. Bummer. I have my sewing machine and luckily had some spare sail cloth to make a repair. It's not easy to sew a huge sail on the deck of a sailboat but we got the job done after about 3 hours of solid work. It's not a pretty repair but it will do.

Turtle Bay is a dusty little town. It has a fuel pier that is 15 feet above the water and has no way to tie to it. You have to drop an anchor and then back to it. They lower the fuel nozzle down to you then you stuff your money in a tin can that they raise up to the dock. Not exactly convenient. We heard rumors of a newer service that comes out to you. The company is called Anabels and they are located a little to the west of the main part of town. We were looking for a place to anchor and two guys approached us in a boat marked Anabels. I told them that we needed diesel and they said to side tie to their barge. It was so easy and we were relieved that we didn't have to med-moor to that pier!

We'll spend the night here and leave for Mag Bay tomorrow morning. There are 4 other cruisers anchored near us.
