Monday, 12 May 2014 – We had a warm morning wind as we took in the anchor at 5:00 a.m. and headed out to begin the 24-hour crossing of Vizcaino Bay headed for the south end of the Sacramento Reef. To our surprise, and relief, the sea had settled down and while we had 7-12 knots of wind on the nose, we encountered only long ocean swells and a current that varied between 1.5 – 2 knots. The day was sunny and warm as we plowed north across the Bay. It seemed like it took forever for Cedros to disappear behind the horizon. At night, the seas became even calmer as we closed with the coast, but it was not without its challenges. At 9:00 p.m. when Anita came on watch, we had covered 72 Nautical Miles towards the coast which lay ahead.
