Well that trip was not bad and the weather is looking pretty good for us to finish up the first half of the trip within the next day or two. We spent the morning hours sleeping and woke up around noon today. We are thinking this will be fitting for our arrival in California as there is no reason to wake up early when you are unemployed, and besides the unemployment department stays open to 7 pm or so we hear.

For once the winds projected where the winds we found on the Pacific. We might have seen a couple of gusts to 18 knots during our 36 hours of travel but we were also really able to sail for about an hour or two and that more than makes up for any winds we have seen on the nose during the whole trip.

If you missed it the Chick and the Dude have posted updates so if you have time you can check those sections. When we arrive Turtle Bay (tomorrow or Friday) we will stay put for a couple of days to enjoy your Tacos and Tortas and then hopefully do the final 350 miles over the whole of next week. Weather is definitely improving.

Anchored in Abreojos bay. Took 20 minutes and a lobster panga to get us into position and we still have traps on three sides of the boat and are half a mile from the beach, we apparently won’t be swimming to shore. 190 miles down for this trip. 36 hours and nice weather.

Departed San Carlos yesterday with some difficulty. Finally cleared the point at 8 PM. Too njce a sail to talk about. Nice conditions now as well. Hope for arrival by 0900 AM Thurs. Position updated in the FIND US section. 25 16 019 N by 112 43 567 W. Sent at 0830AM Weds 02 Oct.
