News:
Timoneer picked up anchor at 0845 Sunday morning for the trip across the
Gulf of California to Cabo San Lucas where we will bunker the boat with
fuel. The trip started out in flat calm seas as we motored for the first
12 hours with less than 7 knots of breeze. Everyone off watch was in
cleaning mode inside and out, Bevan and I scrubbed the guest tender and put
on a coat of tender sunblock UV protector. We also had 8 red snapper to
clean and scale, traded to us for fresh water by the local fisherman. By
midnight the wind and waves had built a bit making it the worst sea we have
experienced in the 2000 miles of traveling since we departed Panama.
Gradually the waves tapered off as we approached the lee of Cabo San Lucas
and the shelter of the harbor, docking at 0755 Monday morning.
