After a rough trip from La Ventana around the cape to Puerto Los Cabos (wind and BIG waves stayed on our nose for 14 hours in spite of the course changing 130 degrees over the trip) we've started the trip north. Left Puerto Los Cabos at 1930 Saturday - off Cabo San Lucas we hit head-on 25 to 30 knot winds and 6 to 8 foot seas with an occasional "big boy" in the mix. Once we were north a couple of hours it flattened some - the next 15 hours were pretty nice. Early afternoon the swell and wind came back up consistent with the forecast. We rolled into Bahia Santa Maria @ 0130 under fairly calm conditions (relatively speaking). Lots of water leaks from the "deck gun" blasting the boat and, as luck would have it, saltwater doesn't really dry. The water temp has dropped over 20 degrees since Jack and I left La Paz 3 days ago and outside temp is a nippy 62 (we left 102 in La Paz) - so we're in warm clothes (Jack's wearing his fleece lined jeans he got for fathers day - lucky dog!!). We traveled the 192 miles first leg in 30 hours exactly with an average SOG of 6.5 - fuel consumption was right a 1gal/hour so we're good to Turtle Bay. Leaving tonight for the next 225 mile leg - if the weather is good we'll arrive TB early Wednesday. More to come.
