Finally - a boring crossing

Our trip over to the Baja was boring and we really like boring on a nighttime passage..... After having fishing boats challenge us, rough conditions, horizontal rain and playing Ben Franklin in a lightening storm in previous nighttime passages, doing a very boring and uneventful trip from Mazatlan to the Baja was wonderful. 27.5 hours to travel 190 miles (6.9/per hour ASOG) on a windless, star filled night was perfect. 2011 our time was 31 hours and in 2013 we did it in 29 - new motor made a nice difference this time. Met the La Paz truck carrying ferry at the exact spot as twice before - our historical tracks (getting the heck out of the way...) are almost identical. Not sure if the golf course has "gone back to nature" but it's not looking good from the water - recon planned for the morning. Here for a couple of days and then up to Espiritu Santo. No internet so no pictures.
