No, I'm not there yet but I did round Isla Clarion, 2 mi. off on my starboard side. It's a desolate Mexican island about 2 mi. wide, best I can tell, and in the middle of nowhere. There appears to be a small compound on the SW side but nothing else. Maybe you can Google Earth it and see what it is. Probably a Mexican Navy outpost.

The wind continues to die so that my daily log was only 100 mi. I haven't hit the NE trade winds yet, maybe in a couple of days. They are usually 15 knots day and night.

The ice was finally broken. Yesterday I caught three yellowfin tuna, one of which I kept. All three were smallish, maybe five lbs, a perfect size for me. For dinner I had seared ahi and garden salad. Lunch today will be sashimi with wasabi and soy sauce. I searched the boat but could not find the pickled ginger. I know it is onboard as I brought four jars from Seattle.

Everything else is fine.
