After one night at Cabo San Lucas we took off for the first big leg of the "Baja Bash". This leg is a 172 mile non-stop beat which includes rounding Cabo Falso and Punta Tosca (capes and points tend to have stronger wind and waves). We were fortunate that the weather cooperated - not perfect, but not bad. Our passage took 34 hours which is pretty good time all things considered. This was an uphill slog with the wind basically on the nose. Following conventional wisdom we motor sailed almost the entire way, but we also tried to keep the mainsail full and contributing to our forward progress.

Despite some anxieties about the weather forecast - we made it here in good shape. It looks like we may have to wait for several days until a predicted blow passes through. No problema - we have plenty of time, food and books to read .

Buenas noches.
