Today was more like the calm of last night. Hardly any wind and no seas. We just cruised along at 7 knots after some tacking in the night. The sea state calmed way down and we were able to head straight to Turtle Bay at 7 knots and the GPS shows our arrival at 11:00 Tuesday which is tomorrow. Just finished a great Spriggs dinner of pork chop, mashed potatoes, grilled onions and peas. Fletcher opened a bottle of red which he proclaims as being OK and tasty. So all is well aboard Tapatai and I even get to sleep in my bunk up forward rather than on the couch in the salon. Best of all we are dry. Once in Turtle we will get fuel and an update on the weather for the last portion of the trip which is 337 miles to San Diego. San Jose to Turtle is 407 so we will be better than half way home. The grib files show some wind kicking up Thursday and we might be able to get almost home before it hits us. So the big question is after fuel and the weather report do we leave and go out through the Keller Canal in the dark or wait until first light and use the day to go up the West side of Cedros. Hopefully Commander's will give us some good info.
