Arrive Cabo San Lucas from Mazatlán (Monday, 28 April 2014)

Monday, 28 April 2014 – George saw the sunrise and woke Anita at 6:00 a.m. so there would be a second person on watch, and he could turn in. The morning was quiet as the swells had died down overnight, so we continued to motor towards our destination. During the morning, we cleared the deck of several small squid that had landed there during the night.

At 3:00 p.m. we had covered 177 Nautical Miles and could see the coastline of the Baja. As we closed with the coast a small current was noticeable which reduced our COG by almost a knot. I assume it was the tidal flow entering the Sea of Cortez. We eventually lost the daylight and entered the Cabo San Lucas harbor about 8:00 p.m. and by 8:30 p.m. we were moored in our assigned slip at the Cabo Marina.

We had covered 202 Nautical Miles in 37 hours of which only five were under sail after a somewhat miserable crossing of the Sea of Cortez from Mazatlán.
