We leave Santa Maria under full sail into light winds. A stow away was found when shaking out the reef in the main! A cricket was chilling in the sail. I feel blessed with luck once again to have such a beautiful insect grace us with its presence. Another two night passage to reach Cabo San Lucas. Can't wait to cross that "finish line" of the pacific coast of Baja. Bahia Santa Maria, our last stop before Cabo. A huge, beautifully protected bay. We saw our first Frigate birds! That means we're getting closer to tropical climates 😍 Full sail ahead! Cut the engine off even faster this leg! A half hour into our journey to Bahia Santa Maria the wind was consistent and the seas the flatest we've seen in weeks. Cruising at a comfortable 6 knots. Reef in the mizzen and double on the main with both headsails flying full. Sunrise sailing 180nm further south! We reached Bahia Tortugas (Turtle Bay) after two nights at sea. We sailed under full moon and got a little relief from the still big rolling swell behind Isla Cedros. We deployed our backup 45 Bruce and Frankenstein chain/rode set up then passed out on the warm deck. Protected from the next few systems we squeezed our last bit of energy out and went to find a cold beer! We stayed for 8 days waiting for a good window to make our next hop. Slowly, but safely, we are making it down the Pacific coast of Baja. That next beer in Cabo is going to taste even better! Only 400+nm more to make that happen 🍻
