Hurry Up; and Wait!
22 April 2013 | La Cruz Fuel Dock
by Mark. Perfect Day for a Sail to Cabo!
Well, we checked out with the marina and port captain. We topped off water tanks, checked the oil, and cleaned Stinky's pee-mat. We said our final, final good-byes and were out of our slip by 1045. Running both engines at 2500 rpm, we made it to the La Cruz fuel dock in an hour. But, because a sport-fisher was fueling ahead of us, we were told there'd be a 20 minute wait. It's been an hour so far - wow, those big power boats are thirsty!
We have a way cool device, called a SPOT, that determines our position, anywhere in the world, then sends an email, via satellite telling folks were we are. Sadly, were it turned on right now, it'd tell you we're on top of our bookcase, in our home in Vancouver, Washington! That's right, we forgot to bring it with us this season. So, don't expect daily updates - or noon sites, as we call them. We'll be checking in only when Debbie's iPad is in range of 3G cell towers.
We'll be in touch. Our ETA in Cabo is late night, Wednesday. BTW: We're still waiting for fuel!!!
