We are finally underway again heading Northwest. We departed Mag Bay in the wee hours and managed to get by Cabo San Lazaro without any problems. Outside Baja the weather has not been favorable for passages North and the predication was for those conditions to continue for another 1-2 weeks. After a pow-wow last night between all the North-bound cruisers holed up in Mag Bag, we all decided to make a dash North if the wind was light when we got up. So here we are 185 miles from Turtle Bay and 35 miles offshore. So far the predicted winds have not materialized. We have been making great progress all day. Plan B is to crack off to either Abreojos or San Juanico if the going gets too rough. Keeping our fingers crossed.

P.S. - I guess we are officially a power boat now or I am just plan greedy. Although, we are sailing close-hauled with the jib and full main - I still have the engine on full cruising RPM. Sure is nice to be able to point straight to our destination, pinching our brains out in big swells and a moderate breeze and still be able make close to 7 knots VGM. Either that or I am a chicken to be out here any longer than I need to.

Hasta luego.
