Timoneer arrived all safe and sound in La Paz, Mexico (West Coast) at 1700 on Friday 1st. Unfortunately the Satcom connection went down so the reports were not able to be sent but we are now safely tied to the dock at Costa Baja Marina and back on the air.
The trip down took 4.25 days and was good with a mixture of weather, ranging from 30 plus knots on the nose, to flat calm. At one time the boat speed was down to 7 knots bashing into head seas.
When the weather was co-operating we managed to catch some fish, a nice 25lb dorado (mahi mahi) and a couple of 10lb tuna and we saw quite a bit of sea life which is always enjoyable.
We will be cruising in the Sea of Cortez for the next month or so and then head south towards Panama, hopefully to transit the canal in February before proceeding to Grenada.
Once we are on passage again we will start the daily logs again.
Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you all.
Captain and Crew of Timoneer.
