Thanks to Ken & Don, the crew ate well!

Our passage that began October 26th from San Diego is now complete. Since WiFi/broadband is generally not available along the beautiful but largely uninhabited coast of Baja, this is my first update since. So, from a Internet cafe in Cabo, I'll try to share our experiences as best I can. Remember that saying "a picture is worth a 1,000 words".
This leg of our trip covered about 355nm, which required us to sail (and motor when sailing was slow) for two days (or 47 hours) straight. And while sailing for two days and nights sounds fairly easy, it's difficult for the crew to get into a good passage rhythm in that short period. So, we don't sleep well off watch, and just "hang on" in our sleep deprived state until our next anchorage. Such is a sailors life.

The details: We had a great start, and sailed into the evening with light winds, relatively smooth seas, with the spinnaker pulling us South. Ken (or Don) hooked into a 6lb Jack Tuna that afternoon, so we (just Gerry actually) had fresh Sushi, and Rosalie prepared some amazing Tuna for dinner! After dinner the wind died, so we motored until they returned the following morning. Once sailing again, the Don & Ken fishing team went to work. With Huzzah sailing a steady 7 kts, they pulled aboard three more tuna, including a good sized Yellow Fin. At this point the ship's cooks said - enough! So we ate ceviche and fish tacos for days!
The second afternoon and night at sea was a bit more bumpy, which adversely impacted some mates. Although I'm generally not affected by seasickness, I have been (and will be again), so I totally appreciate their situation! Nobody boasts their toughness or gets teased about this on Huzzah.

Later that morning we sailed into Bahia Tortuga (Turtle Bay) and dropped the hook (anchor) for two days of rest & partying).
Lots of pictures and details to follow.....
