We slept in this morning as we didn’t need to leave for Cabo San Jose until mid morning. It is a 20-22 hour run depending on sea conditions. The morning was quiet with smooth seas. Some time after noon we saw several marlin jumping in our wake. Oh to have a fishing rod….. A little bit later we saw a …
Man O’ War Cove……Mag Bay
On the Way to Mag Bay It was a quick 3 hour run down to Mag Bay with calm seas and beautiful clear, sunny skies. We were one of the first boats to enter the cove and before we could even get the anchor down, a panga approached with a local fisherman grinning and holding up 4 lobsters that he …
Sunday In Turtle Bay
Sunday….a day of rest before the next long leg tomorrow. We took a dinghy ride again, this time with all four of us. Bruce was in the bow and got a bit wet. We went in to the town dock, but when we saw the rickety ladder we had to climb to get ashore, we opted not to. We cruised …
Turtle Bay
Bahia de Tortugas (Turtle Bay) We are anchored in the northwest part of the bay, just off the small fishing village. The fleet is split into two groups, one here and one just off the beach where we will party tonight. We launched the dingy and explored the anchorage, stopping to say hi to anyone out on deck. We are …

FUBAR Day 1 or San Diego to Margaritaville
From Ensenada….. This past week is somewhat a blur. Or maybe I should say a “murk”. When we arrived in San Diego, the first day or two were very nice but then I think the weather directors thought it was June as June gloom set in and it became murky. It is even gloomy here in Ensenada as I write …
San Diego At Last
I have been so busy these past 2 days that I forgot to post again. Ted wrote me an email and said I should let everyone know we made it here safely. When I last posted, we were crossing Monterey Bay. The conditions from then until arrival varied from 15 foot following seas to being able to see the reflection …

We estimate the swells to be running about 12 – 15 feet.It’s Thursday afternoon and we are crossing Monterey Bay, south of San Francisco. Conditions for the past 2 days have been 10-30knots of wind out of the north with 6-15 foot following seas. We have …
Tom watching a ship go by…. Underway again…..at last. We spent 6 days in Gray’s Harbor waiting for decent weather so we could cross the bar and resume the trip to San Diego. The weather didn’t seem all that awful, especially these past 3 days, but the Coast Guard cautioned us against leaving as the bar was treacherous. Speaking of …
