We finally got out of the marina today around 10 AM. We had to go find fuel so we didn’t leave the La Paz area till noon. By the time I sent this we will have made about 45 miles and at that rate should be home in 20 days. Our progress should be slightly better but we ran into a problem with the alternator not charging. We shut down the engine because we also heard a strange noise and the wind was favorable. Sailed the last 20 miles in. Checked the charging and it was due to a detached wire. We will diagnose the noise later today to decide if it is associated with the alternator or something more sinister. Could be in Meurtos for a couple of days if so. More updates as we find the time.
