Beautiful Sun rise South of San Carlos

Once again casting off our dock lines heading south! Magic Carpet shakes the wrinkles out of her sails – it’s like were one each knowing exactly what to do! Where to go yet always ready for the unexpected - keeping a sharp eye out for danger. Magic Carpet glides through surprisingly smooth water, making great time on our voyage south. Mother Nature was kind to us we were able to regain our sea legs easily even little Z (our boat cat) seamed to relax early on. The watches were delightful, three hours on duty and then three hours off! This was a seventy six hour nonstop sail south to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. The skies were clear unbelievable blue and clear truly magnificent – no chem trails ! The full moon guided us surrounded with millions of twinkling stars – no light population in the Sea of Cortez! Venus greeted Magic Carpet early each evening just as she has all people of the sea forever! It’s like being with an old friend just knowing she’s there to guide Magic Carpet south! Dolphins, Turtles & a pod of Whales played around M.C. little Z was fascinated by all the sea life, and so was the Admiral & Captain, it made watches fly bye. Pelicans gilded past us in full formation, the Magnificent Frigate bird & the Booby doove all around us hunting for their dinner. Like “our birds” the Captain saw a few fish jumping so he too joined the fun and lunched a meat line to know avail! The birds out fished our Captain! We were all looking forward to fresh fish, little Z loves fresh fish and always watches the pole for a strike and keeps a close eye on the Captain when he cleans the fish as if he’s doing it just for her. Little Z (Ziwhot) is really part of the crew, she dose watches – but not alone we can’t trust her, sometimes she falls asleep, that’s not allowed on watch!
