Sailing with Celestial's Tripp

We are a Tripp 47 racing boat turned cruiser that we bought in Maine in 2009. We sailed it through the Panama Canal and up to Seattle then back to Mexico and over to Hawaii in 2012.

Donna/ a little rolly in the anchorage but not bad.
We made it to Cabo! Our only disaster was a salt water fitting from our deck salt water pump spliting and spilling salt water on some clothing and blankets. We looked like a refugee boat as everything 'dried'. Now to rinse them all in fresh water! Of course, we had just talked about the importance of making sure all pumps were shut off but this one got turned back on after our anchor in Santa Maria to clean off the anchor. Our bad.

We sailed over 700 miles anchored once in Santa Maria and now in Cabo! We really appreciated our lazy jacks for a quick main release.

It took 17 hours of motoring to get here. This was what we were hoping to avoid. We left in rough conditions but flew down the coast averaging 7-8 knots usually. Oh well, you take the good with the bad.
