Today we made the 30-odd mile run from Bahia Santa Maria into Magdalena Bay proper. We are tucked into Belcher's Point anchorage with 2 other boats (one that we have been seeing at anchorages since Morro Bay). Mag Bay is about the size of SF Bay, and we are in the equivalent of Horseshoe Cove.

There's a nasty low on the coast much further north, so we'll stay here tonight, listen to the weather tomorrow and either stay tucked into Mag Bay for the low system through the weekend, or duck out of here tomorrow--next stop Cabo.

In much more exciting news, we spotted a pod of dolphins feeding on the way down here. We headed their way and Jacob caught an amazing yellowfin tuna. About 15 pounds, almost too big to fit into the net (to get it on boat). Pictures to come when we have a fast internet connection. So we have just finished our first sushi dinner (complete with chilled sake) and have great plans for the rest of the tuna in the coming days.

This is just too much fun following you down the coast. Good job on the sushi. I can almost taste it. Keep on Keepin' on.
