We did not get to see the start of the Baja 1000 offroad race start, but we did hear it from our slip. We ran to town for water and last minute items and then Roger and his crew were shoving us out of the slip. It's a nightmare place to exit/enter by yourself but Roger and his guys are great - they've got it down so no worries of hitting anything.

The seas were confused most of the night with medium winds. We decided to swoop in close as we neared San Quintin as winds were building and we were getting more tired. Jim went up and dropped the main, just too much wind, and we lost the fendoff pole overboard in the process! Here's a miracle...once the sail was down and we headed back we came across the fendoff pole! Jim had to circle it a few times but we managed to net it! Yeah for us!

Winds were building 20+with choppy seas so we decided to head in and drop anchor in San Quintin. After picking up everything that fell during transit, we rested the remainder of the day.

San Quintin is a strange place to see a hotel on the beach. It is absolutely in the middle of nowhere but there's a hotel (or two). We saw people on the beach and trucks running up and down shore. The waves were breaking too hard to go ashore so we just enjoyed the bay from the boat. Dolphins and seals feeding right near us. Cool! We worked on boat projects most of the day and got ready for departure tomorrow.
