Light winds and spinnakers made for a colorful early morning start of the final rally leg. Although winds stayed light, they were the steadiest we had seen the whole rally. There were schools of bat rays jumping throughout the day and we were making sail changes in shorts and bear feet. This is what we came for!

We approached Cabo about 1:15 Thursday afternoon. Disney cruise ship in the harbor set the tone for the rest of the day. Cabo is strictly a tourist town through and through. We were already weary of traveling with a crowd, and just weren't in the mood to hang out in the Cabo crowds for the final rally parties. It was time to break from the pack. We grabbed a water taxi to shore, hit the grocery store and returned directly to the boat. We left Cabo early the next morning.
It felt good to leave the crowd behind, knowing that the folks that we had made friends with, we would meet again along the way in the coming month.
