Almost at Turtle Bay, Mexico

Well here is an updated report of our trip on the Baja Ha Ha so far.
Tuesday morning, Ken and Peter had another pod of dolphins visit the boat early in the morning on Tuesday, they were beside the boat and in our bow wake. We had no wind in the morning but found the wind in the afternoon and started sailing "wing on wing" making speeds of 7 knots on average. We have had the fishing lines off the back for most of the trip trying to catch a fish and at 5pm on Tuesday we caught (or should I say Lydia's line) a yellow tail tuna weighing in at 20 lbs. Lydia, Peter and Ken took care of dealing with the Tuna....not my cup of tea. Will post a picture when able to which is likely to be Cabo San Lucas. Tuesday night was quiet and the sky was lit up with stars.
Wednesday morning we started to sail wing on wing and continued to sail until 3pm in the afternoon. We have seen a pod of whales and a flying fish so far today. The sea is a beautiful Azure colour, it looks very welcoming, maybe we will get to swim in Turtle Bay! Now we have just turned on the engine so we can make it to Turtle Bay tonight before it gets too dark, hopefully get there around 7pm or so.
