A Sailing Trip to the Caribbean and Other Destinations unknown.

San Jose Del Cabo to Los Frailes

We had mentioned in our previous post that we were headed to Los Frailes a couple of days ago but the weather delayed us until today. The northers were pretty strong and several boats left the harbour and came back. It was kind of nice though as we were able to organize a dock party where a lot of the Baja Ha Ha group came over and the marina manager was excellent, he provided us with a table, icebox full of ice and some food.
We listened to the weather this morning and the forcast was kind of confusing but seemed to be OK so off we went at 8am this morning headed for Los Frailes. We started out with a nice sail for about 1/2 hrs and then the wind died but I must not speak to soon. The winds built to 15 - 20 knots which were right on the nose, and the seas were short and steep with swells up to 2 metres. So.....we had a bumpy ride all of the way to Los Frailes. Los Frailes is a protected achorage and we will stay here for the night and likely move on tomorrow morning.

Here is some shots of us and other boats crossing the bar at Bahia del Sol. Some of the images look worse then it actually is as they are taken from a jetski just ahead of the boats. Everyone enjoyed the ride. Some of the women who helmed across the bar said it was better then sex; but I doubt that.

In July 2010 NautiMoments, with her crew of 5 onboard, joined 8 other member boat of the Blue Water Cruising to sail offshore. This was a test of our boats and our selves. At 8:00 on July 13 we sailed from our birth in Point Roberts, down the Strait of Georgia, Boundary Pass, Haro Strait, Strait of Juan de Fuca and up the west coast of Vancouver Island to Ucluelet, with overnight stops in Sooke, Bamfield and Turtle Bay (in the Broken Island Group). We then sailed offshore before returning to the Broken Group. Then we sailed the return trip to our home port of Point Roberts.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover ........(Mark Twain)........ Life is too short to not live your dreams.
