Cabo San Lucas to Puerto Vallarta.
Day 1

We left Cabo in a rather leisurely fashion around noon.
It wasn't that we didn't get up, its just there was a lot of things to do.
Like a grocery shop and inflating the newly patched dingy. It needed a 24 hour drying time for the glue patch.
We had a puncture which we fixed but then a gallon of water in one pontoon was noticed.
A local Mexican fellow said he could remove one end and drain out the water.
I took him up on his offer.
A real pier pirate if ever there was one. Let's hope Alls well.
We put it back in the davits and went to check out.
The Port Captain was difficult. Limited English and he couldn't understand why we came in with three on board and were leaving with only two.
We lost our female crew in Cabo. As intended and a definite improvement to the workings of the boat.
I truly have no idea if the Port Captain got it right and had us leaving with 2 or 3 crew.
I understand his point of view.
If we came in with three crew and left with three crew it's easier on his paper work.
He just kept insisting that we must be leaving with three crew.
Well. We are not.
Sorry about that Mexico.
She will be leaving later via the airport.
O. K. ?
We set sail for P. V. After 5 days without sails up we were so happy to be on our way again.
We soon had the big Genoa up and were slicing through the water at a lovely 5 to 6 knots.
Gulping down the miles felt good.
No motor on and loving the warm breeze.
Now Im beginning to feel like a blue water cruiser.
And happy about it.
There's four or five boats with us on the same path but soon we don't see any of them. We scatter promising to meet again at the other end.
The big Cat out front at 8 to 10 knots. Us in the middle as usual and others behind at 4 or 5 knots.
We have supper and watch the sun go down again.
What a wonderful day.
Just Bruce and I now, so we agree on 4 hour shifts.
