36 hours of movement… all thanks to our motor
After a few hour rest at Bahia Magdalena, we roused at 5 and set off for Cabo. There was no wind in the forecast but that was fine by us. The morning was incredible. We saw more birds, dolphins and baitfish in the 30 minutes either side of sunrise than we’d expect in a lifetime.
We didn’t get bird or fish pics. But here’s a cat.
The pacific was calm and skies were sunny so we lounged casually on the bow, and listened to audio books. Sunset brought fog and a windless wavy night.
We started seeing sea turtles! They are impossible to photograph because they’re skiddish and just under the surface but it’s the best confirmation that we’re nearly in the tropics.
Wednesday cleared up and the morning was easy. Signs of civilization dotted the shore and eventually we spied bright green golf courses and massive resorts. As we got closer boat traffic picked up from 5 boats in 1000 miles to 50 per.
The resorts are massive, modern and pretty cool lookin from the water.
We hooked a fish right outside the main bay but couldn’t land it. The price to pay for barbless hooks. We’ll settle in to the Cabo marina. Take a few days to relax and mostly to repair the damages incurred along the way and figure out what’s next. Hopefully lots of visitors in the Sea or Cortez. Anyone who wants to visit, we can promise good food, warm weather and refreshing water. Anytime between now and July 1st we can probably make work. We’ll be standing by our phones and planners.
