ABREOJOS

It's getting cold after the sun goes down now. 

13 hours of bashing from San Juanico is the great little town, Abreojos. We'll spend another night here and then it's off early to Ascunsion Bay. We monitored the weather on the internet and we have a good window for our next leg. Hopefully we'll be in Turtle Bay in the next couple of days.

SIMPLE PLEASURES

The sunrise, a morning dive, a beach hike, an afternoon surf session and a few good meals. Keep it simple.

BAHIA SAN JUANICO

YELLOWTAIL ENCHILADAS. On our 17 hours ride from Bahia Santa Maria to  San Juanico, we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise, sunset and a delicious seafood dish.

We took a long hike along this stretch of San Juanico today.

After the hike we went into "town" and bought tortillas and water. This Mini Super has the best home made  torts you've ever tasted. 

INTERNET SERVICE HERE IS SKETCHY. WE'RE PLANNING TO LEAVE IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. THE WEATHER AND WATER IS BEGINNING TO GET COOLER. SUE, I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW, TUESDAY. LOVE YOU!!

OUR DAY IN CABO

We started the day on the hook outside the harbor. Had breakfast, swam over to Al's boat and helped secure his dinghy and outboard and then it was off to the fuel dock. We settled in a slip, had our first real showers with shampoo since leaving San Diego and set out to find a replacement starter battery. Tomorrow it's up early, scrub down the boat, buy fresh fruits, veggies, ice, take another shower and move back out on the hook.

This is one of the reasons to have young, strong crew. Carrying the new start battery.

BREATHER IN CABO

Fixing the masthead light, ranger style.

We captured third in our division.

B-Rad arrived today and we had dinner with Al from Channel Islands Marina. He's anchored right next to us. Al prepared a chicken dish that was delish. He's soloing a Hunter 42 and is moving on to Mazatlan later this week. We'll be helping him tomorrow securing his dingy and outboard for his passage. Weather and water is warm. :)

WIFI FOR NOW, BUT IT CONSTANTLY CHANGES

I've stopped taking pictures of the sunsets and sunrises. I'm running out of memory!!

Long passages, the Ranger and Johnny Dorado "sleep" between shifts, getting some shut-eye.

Bahia Santa Maria makes for some great beach combing. Two bros walking the beach.

We're in Cabo San Lucas for a brief time sending home El Jeffe and JD and waiting for B-Rad to arrive. We've experienced some unbelievable sailing and seen some very beautiful places.

ON THE WAY DOWN

The Admiral was with us the whole trip.

A special thank you to all who kept us in your prayers. The crew sends their love to you.

WE MADE IT!

"With all the technology and mechanics in this world, the ocean is humbling. To me it is the "Pohono" of the sea, What can seem calm can be a monster to man and put him in his place." The Ranger's log entry November 5, 2012.

We're in Cabo San Lucas for a few days. What'a ride so far.
