Tuesday, 15 April 2014 – We left San Blas at 7:00 am and headed north about three miles off the coast towards Mazatlán. At noon, a nice wind at 10-15 knots started from the Southwest which allowed us to put up full sail. Just as the wind arrived and we were setting sails, we caught a nice Halibut, but we had no time to land it, so let it go. For five hours we scooted along at an average of seven knots. This was the longest continuous sailing we have done in a long time and swells were slight so it turned into a wonderful day of sailing.
By evening the wind had died but we were accompanied by an almost full moon throughout the night.
