We have been having a wild time for the last few days, slammed by fierce rain squalls, sitting out all night anchor watches on a leeshore anchorage, and now just screaming downwind in an ongoing 25kt flow from the Northwest. We have been making over 5kts under staysail alone all night. Where the hell are the margarita's and the mariachi bands that were supposed to fire up as soon as we entered the country?!
Seriously though, it's been a tiring week, whoa, a flying 'Spanish to English Dictionary' passed an inch from my head just now as we rolled rail down on a particularly large swell. Not really in the right space physically or mentally to blog right now, but we wanted to check in, say hello, and all that good stuff. On the plus side, this wind is making the miles fly by, and we hope to be in to Turtle Bay or Cedros Island by tomorrow morning, at which point we will sleep, and then give a more complete accounting of how it's been going.
(note how many degrees of latitude we've covered!)
Lat 28 Degrees 45' N, Long 115 Degrees 24' W
