About 2/3rds of the way to Cabo San Lucas from Bahia Santa Maria
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from out here offshore of the tip of the Baja Peninsula! We almost left Bahia Santa Maria on Tuesday late afternoon, but after poking our nose around the corner to find no wind and flogging sails for half an hour, we turned back and reanchored in beautiful Santa Maria Bay. We were especially glad we turned back after seeing some intense lightning storms offshore that night! Wednesday we were faced with the go/stay decision, and decided to go, pulling our anchor yesterday around 1pm. Last night was uneventful, just full of sail changes and and the wobblies as we made our way downwind to Cabo. Today we celebrated with a stove top stuffing/chicken bake and some mashed potatoes, and yummy pumpkin muffins! Not the full deal, but enough to make it seem like a holiday at sea. We expect to be in the anchorage at Cabo San Lucas tomorrow (friday) morning, and imagine we will be overwhelmed by the tourist extravaganza there. It will be quite a change after three weeks on this desolate coast. As if a signal to what is to come, we were passed by two huge cruise ships late last night...
