Great sunrise this morning. Too bad it happened after I spotted this field of nasty in the water all around the boat. Don't know exactly what it is or where it came from, but WTF Cabo?!?!! There's nothing cool about dumping into the ocean.

There goes my morning swim.

Wrapping up in San Jose del Cabo. We've finally got a new alternator installed and working. Time to stop spending money in the marina and go anchor in Cabo San Lucas. We'll stage there and wait for our next opportunity to get around the corner and up to Mag Bay or Santa Maria.

Enjoying our first day of progress out of Cabo.

While waiting for parts in San Jose del Cabo we got to do a little fishing. Thank you Captain Heather Richard!!!

On final approach to Barra de Navidad. What a great sail! About 20 knots NW all the way, full sail on a broad reach surfing over 10 knots (one GPS recorded 13+) and an average of 7.3 for the 2 hour ride. #imlovinit #sailing #sailboat #sailorslife #cruiserslife #saltlife #boatlife #cruising #mexico #hughes48 #yawl #sparkmanandstephens

Stopped in here just to pick up some of the best coffee grounds around and had to stay a while as these guys just sound TOO good. And they're just warming up for the real show tonight! #music #strings #cruising #cruisers #cruiserslife #sailorslife #mexico #whatdayisitagain🤔 #doesntreallymatter

Check out this clip from the passage between Cabo and La Cruz. All these sails up at once means a lot of strings to pull. Doing this solo was a lot of work, but a real thrill and confidence builder. This was a first for me on this boat. What a ride! #spinnaker #mizzenandmain #mizzenstaysail #putupallthecanvas #sailboat #sailing #singlehanded #solo #cruising #cruisers #mexico #hughes48 #yawl #sparkmanandstephens #saltlife #sailor #sailinglife #wetlife #waterlife #yachtlife #boatlife
