A MEMORABLE SUNDAY

The day was clear, windy and warm. Wind was a consistent 16-18 knots as El Jeffe and the capt moved along in the 7's all day long.

The genoa was set up on the outboard track and it was the right call.

Pushing through the sea at 7+ knots.

BATTEN THE HATCHES AND REEF THE MAIN MATEY

Sunday provided plenty of wind, sunshine and swell. We reefed the main when the wind neared 20 knots and were consistently hitting 7-7.8 knots of speed. After the wild and wet ride, the Admiral and I dropped the hook in Danalina for a restful night.

I love these kind of bad hair days

MORNING SURF, AFTERNOON SAIL

The youngsters hit 204 in the morning and had a great time in the surf. Later they were sailing up the coast past Salt Creek and Aliso Beach with an overcast sky and consistent 10-14 knot breeze. Good surf and good sail = great time.

THE BAJA BASH, "ADIOS" STYLE

Six days and nearly 900 miles later, the Adios is back from Cabo. The Adios is a J120 that just completed and placed third in the BYC Newport to Cabo race. Our mission was to get her home. Wow, what'a ride!

The next morning. This yellowfin tuna was fileted and in the refer within minutes and provided several excellent meals.

During the trip home we made only three brief stops; south of Magdalena Bay for dinner, Turtle Bay for fuel and dinner, and Kelp Island for a quick dip in the ocean.

7 PM April 11th the happy crew disembark in Dana Point.
