We are happily anchored at Bahia Santa Maria after a relatively uneventful 2 night passage down from Turtle Bay. The bay is teeming with wildlife, including huge numbers of Gray Whales, some of which have necessitated our changing course to avoid hitting them as they surface for air.
We had a fantastic lobster taco lunch (8 AA batteries = 8 Spiny Lobsters) with more lobsters waiting for dinner. We will most likely spend a night or two here, and possibly a night a few miles South at Bahia Magdalena, where word has it there is the remains of a whaling outpost on shore, complete with bones and vats. After that it's about 160 miles South to Cabo, where we will get to play tourist for a bit, and have a cold drink for the first time in weeks.
Water temperature is 72 degrees, and the air is at least 10 degrees warmer...is it possible that we have finally escaped Winter?
