20.8N 105.5W to 22.9N 109.9W. Southern Crossing, Sea of Cortes, Mexico.
Our passage was "about as perfect as it gets" with one exception – the winds were very light and variable and we had to motorsail most of the way. The days were clear and warm and the nights perfectly dark for star gazing. Late the second day and into the night, our decks were soaked as we bashed through choppy seas. We slowed down to try to smooth out the ride…but it was bumpy, wet and wearing. After two full days and nights, we arrived at Cabo San Lucas….very tired but glad to be across before the next big Northerlies.
As in November, we are both impressed and shocked by the place. We will be here for about a week – take the routine tour of the many government offices needed to check in, get provisions for the next few weeks, and make plans to head back to La Paz.
