Well our low RPM problem changed to NO RPM. Despite repeat efforts to resurrect the iron beast it remained silent. So now we are back to strictly being a sailboat again.
Without an engine we decided it would be best to forego stopping in Ensenada and continue sailing all the way to San Diego. There diesel mechanics and parts are readily available.
This will make for a long leg (all the way from Turtle Bay to San Diego), but we should actually get there sooner than orginally planned.
The weather is brisk and bumpy. Since we are going dead to weather we will be on our ear all the way (healed over).
Adios Mexico!
