The weather is repeated its antics from the previous day with light morning winds from the NE and afternoon winds from the west with good for sailing up to the entrance of Topolobampo Bay. We motored across the Bay clearing the solitary rock which formed a marker on our starboard side. The rock is about 3 miles from the entrance to the bay.

Two commercial ships were anchored in the Bay. After crossing the bay and turning south, we were in 100-200 feet of water finally settling for 120-150 feet along the rest of the coast. Up until now, we had seen no fishing boats, but on the other side of the Topolobampo Bay we started to see them. We stayed beyond the 120′ contour which put us outside of the fishing fleet who were working the 50-80′ contour.

There is heavy fishing activity all along this coast and particularly heavy just south of Topolobampo. We must have passed 25 boats during the night. We have now covered 199 Nautical Miles.
